About Me

Experienced embedded Linux software engineer with a versatile skill set encompassing modern C++, Python, and embedded Linux systems. I have a strong background in cybersecurity solutions for the automotive sector, gained from my previous work at Arilou/SheeldS, pioneers in this field.

Currently working at Abbott developing and maintaining Ensite X EP software. It’s a cool software that maps the heart in real-time during EP procedures. It provides advanced tools for visualization, analysis, and management of data during cardiac mapping and ablation procedures.

In addition, I am passionate about game engine development and learn it in my free time. I have worked in Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, skiled with technologies such as OpenGL and SDL2.

I possess good understanding of protocols including CAN, J1939, and MQTT. Committed to continuous learning, I’m like a code-wielding explorer, venturing through the binary wilderness with a compass of curiosity and a backpack of tech-savvy. Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:

Projects

2d game engine
Game engine SDL C++ ECS (Entity-Component-System) Lua CMake VCPKG
2d game engine
A basic 2D game engine employing the ECS design and built on SDL. The project aims to familiarize with game engine development and associated techniques.
Tanks Game
C CVI environment OOP Game development
Tanks Game
In the CVI environment, we developed a Tanks game reminiscent of "The Worms" for a system programming course, employing C. Despite C's non-OOP nature, we embraced the challenge, adopting an object-oriented style for enhanced code clarity. This project offered a hands-on exploration of OOP principles within the CVI technology landscape.
Installation
Fear Master VR
C# Unity Path finding algorithms Game development Deep Lerning Tracking
Fear Master VR
This diploma project was done in collaboration with Barack Samuni. It's a VR game that utilized various pathfinding algorithms and incorporated our findings from crowd behavior analysis, along with the traning of a DL model and tracking. Check YouTube link for the demo and tracking video to see the results of the tracking algorithm.
