About. Embedded and industrial IoT engineer, guitarist, and luthier.
I’m an embedded and industrial IoT engineer at Zynk in Cluj-Napoca. I write production firmware for embedded devices, bring up and debug the boards they run on, and connect industrial machines to the cloud.
Outside work, I play guitar, bass, piano, and a little drums, and I write, record, and produce music. I also set up, repair, and restore guitars, make my own videos, and write about faith from a Christian point of view.
