● Direct interaction/meetings with clients to provide work progress updates and discuss issues. ● Worked on firmware development and PCB design for nRF52, STM32 and ESP32-based microcontrollers. ● Designing high speed multilayer PCBs using Altium, EasyEDA, KiCAD and Eagle. ● Designing battery management and balancer systems for multiple chemistry batteries including LiPo, LTO, and lead acid batteries ● Developed multiple IoT and wearable device projects utilizing BLE communication. ● Optimizing firmware and hardware for low power consumption reduced development cost. ● Leading a team of 4 engineers to carry out everyday tasks. ● 4 cell Lead Acid battery charger: Designed a 4 cell lead acid battery charger using LT8490. Charger had the MPPT feature for solar panel inputs. It was based on Buck-Boost topology. PCB was designed on 6 layers. ● Smart Air Mouse Project: Developed firmware for a head-movement-controlled air mouse to assist handicapped individuals in operating a computer cursor. Utilized BLE communication to enable seamless connectivity with computing devices. ● Smart Vape monitor: Designed custom PCB and firmware for nordic MCU based smart vape monitoring device. Device used pressure sensor to detect puffs taken by the user and sent all the statistics to the mobile application via BLE ● Stripe POS system: Integrated Stripe POS system with esp32 MCU. Purpose of it was to implement a smart payment system(Card tapping) in a vending machine project. Used APIs provided by stripe to perform different operations
