Embedded Systems & Cybersecurity Engineer · PhD · Applied R&D
I work at the intersection of embedded systems, cybersecurity and electronic engineering, designing hardware–software solutions for real-world industrial environments.
My current interests include secure embedded Linux, hardware-backed device identity, TPM 2.0, PKI, trusted computing and low-level software development. My previous work spans automotive electronics, FPGA-based systems, edge AI, digital signal processing and industrial communications.
I hold a PhD in Electronics and Communications, an MSc in Advanced Electronic Systems, a BSc in Computer Engineering and an MBA. This combination allows me to approach engineering problems from both a technical and a product-oriented perspective.
- Embedded software: C, Python, Bash, Linux and hardware–software integration
- Embedded Linux: Yocto Project, cross-compilation and custom Linux systems
- Embedded security: TPM 2.0, OpenSSL, PKI, device identity and secure provisioning
- System security: Linux hardening, seccomp, cryptography and secure elements
- Digital systems: FPGA, VHDL, real-time signal processing and data acquisition
- Automotive electronics: LIN, SENT, CAN, sensors, actuators and brake-by-wire systems
- Electronic design: PCB development, Altium Designer and laboratory validation
- Edge computing: TensorFlow, computer vision and resource-constrained AI platforms
I am currently working on the design of secure embedded platforms, with a particular focus on:
- Hardware-backed identities and certificate provisioning
- TPM-based cryptographic operations
- Secure and measured boot architectures
- Embedded Linux security and system hardening
- Migration of system tooling from shell scripts to maintainable C applications
- Integration of security mechanisms into industrial and embedded products

I also enjoy designing practical objects for 3D printing and documenting technical experiments. Some of these designs are available on my Thingiverse profile.
I am always interested in discussing secure embedded systems, trusted computing, automotive electronics, Linux, FPGA development and the challenges involved in transforming research into reliable products.
