MACHINEER TECHNOLOGY PVT. LTD., Kathmandu, Nepal 02/2021 – 03/2023

embedded software development company.

Embedded Software Developer (06/2021 – 03/2023)

Built firmware for the embedded systems, demonstrating strong skills in debugging and software development.

Created a Jewelry Rate Display System with Micropython, ESP32, and 7-segment display board, achieving a 25% cost reduction through optimized hardware and software. Enhanced user satisfaction and system performance with efficient data display and tailored functionalities.

Engineered a Three Phase Voltage Monitoring system using C, ESPIDF, ESP32 and SIM800 module, integrating web interfaces for threshold management and WiFi connectivity while collaborating closely with hardware engineers, resulting in a comprehensive monitoring solution with real-time SMS alerts and improved system reliability.

Increased system flexibility and maintenance capability by 40% by implementing OTA (over the air) update functionality for the transformer monitoring system using C, ESP32 and ESPIDF, enabling remote firmware installations and ensuring uninterrupted power supply through improved monitoring mechanisms.

Realized a 30% enhancement in efficiency and performance of the solar dryer through the design and optimization of a Solar Dryer Control System (SDCS). This system facilitates precise temperature and humidity control using an SHT20 sensor while incorporating LVGL for a user-friendly interface (GUI). The interface displays data on an ILI9341 display screen and allows for seamless input of threshold data to the system.

Developed and executed comprehensive testing strategies, including unit tests, integration tests, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, to ensure the reliability, functionality, and real-world compatibility of embedded software solutions. Applied strong problem-solving and communication skills throughtout the process.

Technologies Used: ESPIDF, C, C++, MicroPython, JavaScript, Version Control, real-time operating system.

Embedded Software Developer Intern (02/2021 – 06/2021)

Built firmware for the embedded systems.

Spearheaded the development of an experimental Solar Dryer system leveraging Micropython, ESP32, and ESP-IDF,reducing drying time by 20%.

Innovated a comprehensive library to streamline WiFi and hotspot connection setup, resulting in a 30% decrease in setup time, optimized connectivity, and enhanced user experience.

created a robust module for seamless server communication, increasing data transfer speed by 50%.

Designed and implemented a user-friendly webpage enabling users to set thresholds, configure WiFi credentials, and control fan on/off duration for the Solar Dryer system. Resulted in a 25% reduction in setup complexity, providing easy access and customization options for users.

Technologies Used: ESP32, ESPIDF, C, Micropython, Git, real-time operating system (RTOS)

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Maharishi International University (2024) – Attendance System: Collaborated on a group project to develop an attendance system using Java Spring Boot for the back-end, MySQL database for data storage, OAuth 2.0 authentication for user access control, and ActiveMQ for messaging functionality.

Maharishi International University (2024) – Realestate website: Developed a real estate website development for buying and selling properties using React.js, Tailwind CSS, Java Spring Boot, and MySQL.

Maharishi International University (2023) – Library Management System: Worked in a group of two to create a Library Management system implementing Java interfaces, Single factory pattern, and Data Transfer Objects (DTOs), all studied in Modern Programming Practice (MPP) course.

Middlesex University (2018) - Development of an EMGControlled Mobile Robot: Developed a ROS-based mobile robot control system using EMG signals. The modular robot, controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3 and a Teensy microcontroller, receives muscle commands via a Thalmic Myo Armband. Hand gestures are recognized using a k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) classifier. Evaluated the robot's performance by navigating specific paths using EMG signals and collision avoidance.

Middlesex University( 2017) - Controlling Robotic Hand using EMG signal and pressure sensor: utilized Myoware Muscle(EMG) sensor to read surface EMG signals from the human hand for robotic hand movement. Integrated pressure sensors on the robotic hand to capture analog data using Arduino, enabling the hand to grasp objects. Employed Raspberry Pi, python and ROS for signal processing and control system integration.
