🛠 Skills

💻 Technology

Python⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Developed debugging interfaces and applications for developing and controlling racing cars in connection with protocols such as CAN and LIN. Implementation of backend applications and DHCP servers for programming and testing hardware applications. Development in robotics and communication using ROS also takes a huge part of my Python skills. Furthermore, after pursuing my bachelor-end project researching Quantum Key Distribution techniques, all my data analytics and system diagnostics for the hardware used were written in Python and the remote tools.

Javascript ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My "native" programming language that I've worked with for over six years. I've used it in the back end for APIs with Node, Next.JS, and mobile applications using Cordova and React Native.

C / C++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The main language used for embedded systems and hardware projects. Experience in formatting C with OOP. Developed applications and implemented protocols for communication, such as CANOpen based on CAN and LDF parsers based on LIN used in automotive applications. System OSs such as FreeRTOS and the development of task-based applications are a routine of mine.

System Verilog ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Developed some state-based IPs in Verilog, as well as the architecture of the inverter model for the URE racing car in Vivado

MATLAB | Simulink ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Altium Designer | KiCAD | LT Spice ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mostly power electronics converter designs
