Experience

• senior lead engineer - electronics Free lancing · Full-time May 2019 – Present 7 yrs 2 mos India 7+ years of experience in embedded systems and hardware design, spanning industrial automation, IoT, and electric vehicle applications. Career progression from hardware design fundamentals to leading full product development lifecycles for industrial-grade systems.
  Began in hardware design, building expertise in schematic capture, PCB layout, and Gerber generation for embedded control products (Illuminen Technologies, 2019–2021). Advanced into embedded systems roles delivering communication-protocol-based products — CAN, RS485, MQTT — for industrial monitoring applications, taking multiple products from schematic through functional and integration testing (3F Advanced Techno Labs, 2021–2024).
  Progressed to IoT-focused engineering, owning end-to-end delivery of connected embedded products — from PCB design through firmware bring-up to AWS IoT cloud integration, including OTA update infrastructure for field-deployed devices (UJB Technolabs, 2024). Currently serving as Senior Lead Engineer at Elgi Equipment Ltd., leading embedded controller development for industrial air compressor systems, covering hardware architecture, firmware integration, and full production readiness.
  Across this trajectory, I've delivered complete hardware and firmware solutions for industrial IoT monitoring, motor and machine control, EV instrumentation, and protocol conversion systems — using Altium Designer, STM32/ESP32 platforms, FreeRTOS, and AWS IoT — consistently taking products from concept through validated, production-deployed hardware.
