I’m a Technical Founder and hands-on engineer with 16+ years of experience building real-world automation products through two self-founded companies in the fuel & energy automation sector.

My core strength is delivering complete, production-grade systems across the full stack: PCB design (KiCad) → embedded firmware (STM32 / C/C++) → software (.NET / C#) → databases (SQL).

I’m open to consulting, partnerships, and product-focused roles across Europe in: Industrial Automation, EV Charging Infrastructure, and Connected Mobility.

• Custom STM32-based hardware for harsh industrial environments
• Embedded firmware with real-time communications (RS485/RS232/UART/TCP-IP)
• Reverse-engineered protocol implementations for legacy/proprietary systems
• Desktop/back-office applications in C#/.NET (WinForms) and data-heavy backends
• Reliable logging and reporting pipelines with MS SQL Server / PostgreSQL

• PCB Design: KiCad (schematic → Gerber)
• MCUs: STM32 (ARM Cortex‑M), ESP32, Atmel AVR, Arduino
• Modules/ICs: ULN2803, RFID modules, QR/Barcode readers

• Languages: C / C++ (production)
• Platform/Tools: STM32 HAL Libraries, STM32CubeIDE
• Communication: UART/USART, RS485, RS232, TCP/IP
• Specialties: Custom protocol implementation & reverse engineering

• C# / .NET: .NET Framework & .NET Core, WinForms
• ORM: Entity Framework, DevExpress XPO
• Databases: MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, IBM DB2

• Electronic & mechanical repair of fuel dispensers (Wayne, Gilbarco, Tokheim + local brands)
• Station infrastructure, pipework, fiscal cash registers (yazarkasa)
• Pump installation, commissioning, on-site troubleshooting

Problem: Unify multiple pump brands with incompatible protocols under one central management platform.

• Designed custom STM32 interface boards for RS485 / Current Loop
• Reverse-engineered and implemented dispenser protocols (price updates, litre counting, nozzle control)
• Built station management software (sales reporting, tank monitoring, shift management)
• High-volume transaction logging optimized for MS SQL Server / PostgreSQL

Goal: Cashless, traceable, remotely monitored wash bays — built from scratch.

• Custom STM32 controller with RFID + QR integration
• Firmware flow: QR read → TCP/IP validation → relay trigger (in-house protocol)
• C# backend for token validation + real-time desktop dashboard
• Targeting CE certification and EU distribution partnerships

• Hydraulic Pump Repair Tracker: workflow app for parts/labor/test state tracking
• Fleet Maintenance System: spare parts + service history tracking (Entity Framework + PostgreSQL)
