Hardware to cloud.

A data packet's journey from silicon to server — and the layers I've touched so far.

HARDWARE
Lab test and measurement equipment, vehicle sensors — Prodigit/Keithley units, OBD-II readers, and a Raspberry Pi; data sources over USB and Ethernet.
FIRMWARE
SCPI and OBD-II commands — the shared language for talking to the firmware already living on each device.
NETWORK
MQTT and Node-RED — small-scale pipelines carrying telemetry from a Raspberry Pi up to the cloud.
APP
Kotlin for Android, Python/Tkinter for desktop — the surface where the user meets the system.
CLOUD
FastAPI + Docker + Cloud Run, Firebase Firestore, InfluxDB — where state lives and decisions get made.

About.

Computer Engineering graduate from MEF University. Data pipelines from hardware to cloud, ML-backed services — built with agentic tools and TDD. What layer I work in is dictated by the problem, not my preferences.

Currently — Software Developer Intern at Spheretech — building Python automation and tests for Cylana, an AI-powered external attack surface management (EASM) platform.
