Tools: KiCad, Linux, oscilloscope
Projects
Solar inverter monitor | ESP32, C++, KiCad | Team of 3Mar 2025
A monitor that reads voltage, current and temperature from a 1 kW solar inverter and shows them on a phone.
Wrote the ESP32 firmware in C++ (sensors over I2C, display over SPI) and designed the two-layer PCB in KiCad.
Ran on the department’s rooftop inverter for 60 days and caught two overheating events the old panel missed.
DC motor speed control | STM32, C | SoloOct 2024
Wrote bare-metal C on an STM32 to hold a DC motor at set speeds with PID control, tuned over UART from a laptop.
Measured the response on an oscilloscope: settling time went from 1.2 s to 0.3 s after tuning.
Internship
Embedded Intern, Voltgrid, CoimbatoreMay 2024 – Jul 2024
Wrote Python scripts on Linux that test sensor boards over UART, replacing a manual check of 50 boards a day.
Testing time per board fell from 6 minutes to 1.
Achievements
Ran an Arduino workshop for 80 first-year students at the IEEE student branch.

Counted on 18 October 2026 from postings of the previous 45 days. How we counted, and other fields.
Why it works
1
Name the chip and the bus
“ESP32 firmware in C++, sensors over I2C” tells an embedded lead what you can do. “Worked on IoT” does not.
2
Measure it
Settling time, power draw, test time per board. Embedded work is measured; your bullets should be too.
3
Python helps here too
Python is the most-named skill in our count for this field, mostly for test scripts. A bullet with it is worth having.
