Firmware & BSP
Linux kernel/BSP and AOSP customization, device-driver integration, and board bring-up across display, touch, camera and audio subsystems
Hardware & PCB Design
High-speed flex and multilayer PCB design with EMI control and signal integrity, from schematic capture to component-level review
Mass Production & QC
SMT oversight, GMS key flashing and provisioning, FCC compliance testing, and full production-line validation through to shipment
About me
Embedded firmware and hardware engineer with 3 years across the full product lifecycle — firmware and BSP bring-up, PCB design, hardware integration, and mass production. Hands-on with ARM-based Qualcomm QCM6125 / Quectel SOM platforms, Android (AOSP), OTA, and high-speed multilayer PCB design in Altium.
Proven at taking products from prototype to production, working shoulder-to-shoulder with cross-functional hardware teams, mentoring junior engineers, and building structured technical documentation.
