Embedded Linux Intern – IoT Sensor Prototype Development
DHL
- Built a modular C++ 20 embedded Linux acquisition system on a Raspberry Pi, synchronizing IMU and dual-camera data streams to sub-millisecond accuracy.
- Integrated retro-reflective and contrast sensors to trigger acquisition and detect gaps between sorter rails.
- Implemented SPI & I2C sensor communication, GPIO interrupt handling with libgpiod, and CSV & JSON output.
- Designed a multi-threaded acquisition pipeline and an SPSC queue between acquisition and writer threads.
- Built a Python/HTML/CSS based web-server and validated the prototype in a DHL warehouse for defect detection.
- Documented software behavior, configuration, and results for maintainable handover and further development.
C++ Software Developer
Sovacon UG
- Developed Qt/QML-based user interface components in C++ for servo motor control and monitoring.
Embedded Software Developer
EFE GmbH
- Configured RF receiver and NXP LPC54xx peripherals, enabling reliable ADC and DMA communication.
- Developed low-level C firmware for data acquisition and ML inference on an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller.
- Integrated LVGL GUI components and structured FreeRTOS tasks for data acquisition, inference, and UI.
Embedded Systems Lab Tutor
TU Darmstadt
- Tutored an IoT embedded systems lab using the Riotee module (Nordic nRF52833 + TI MSP430FR), covering GPIO, UART, I2C, SPI, BLE, 2.4 GHz radio, and bare-metal debugging.
- Supported debugging with a logic analyzer and prepared instructional material (slides and demos).
Working Student C++ Software Development
Fraunhofer IGD
- Developed C++ computer vision software using OpenCV and MTCNN for image processing and face recognition.
- Refactored code using modern C++ practices (RAII, smart pointers, STL) and maintained CMake-based builds.
Custom Bootloader Development
- Implemented a custom UART bootloader on STM32G431 with CRC32-verified command protocol, page-based flash erase, and 64-bit flash programming.
- Implemented application relocation and safe handover using linker configuration, MSP reinitialization, and VTOR remapping.
- Built a Python host-side firmware update tool for flashing and validation.
STM32 Peripheral Driver Development
- Wrote register-level I2C, SPI, USART, and GPIO drivers from scratch for STM32G431.
- Implemented low-level peripheral initialization, bit manipulation, register configuration, and hardware-near debugging.
