Hi, my name is Arsen. I’m a Senior C++ and Python developer with 5+ years of experience building software for Linux, Windows, and embedded systems. I focus on clean, efficient, and reliable solutions for low level, backend, and performance critical tasks. What I bring to projects: • C/C++ development: STL, Boost, Boost ASIO, Qt, WinAPI, OCCI, V8, POSIX, multithreading • Python development: automation tools, data pipelines, backend logic, Django • Database engineering: Oracle, SQLite, MongoDB, data export tools, batch processing, custom type conversion • Linux systems programming: networking utilities, driver level interaction, Linux kernel headers, OpenWRT, desktop and CLI tools • Wireless and low level networking: Generic Netlink, nl80211, libnl/libmnl, Wi Fi scanning tools, protocol and frame parsing • Reliability and performance: profiling, transactional workflows, data integrity focused design, Dockerized builds, CI/CD with TeamCity • Cross platform delivery: Linux and Windows applications, Make, CMake, Conan, Git/SVN, GDB, Valgrind, Doxygen, Bash I have built tools ranging from high performance Wi Fi scanners in C that interact directly with the Linux wireless stack, to cross platform C++ command line utilities that export Oracle data into SQLite with transactional safety and performance profiling. I am comfortable working close to the system, optimizing throughput, handling large datasets, and designing software that is maintainable and stable in production. Clients usually trust me with complex backend, systems, and infrastructure related tasks where performance, correctness, and long term reliability matter. If you are looking for a developer who can work on C++, Python, Linux internals, networking, or data heavy applications, let’s talk. 🙂

✔ IoT Solution Leader | Leading a team of 220+ engineers ✔ 11+ Years in connected products | End-to-end IoT development ✔ Hardware + Firmware + Cloud Expertise Drop me a message with “DISCOVERY” - we’ll run a free discovery session and turn your idea into a clear architecture, timeline, and execution roadmap while avoiding costly mistakes early on. I lead a 220+ engineer team specializing in end-to-end IoT development – from early discovery and architecture to prototyping, production preparation, and long-term product evolution. Over the last 11+ years, I’ve been involved in building connected solutions that combine embedded systems, electronics, firmware, cloud platforms, and user apps (web, mobile, desktop). My role is focused on bridging business goals with engineering reality: helping teams validate ideas, select the right architecture, reduce technical risks, and build products that can successfully move from prototype to production. Core expertise: • IoT system architecture Designing complete connected ecosystems: devices, communication layers, cloud infrastructure, data flows, APIs, and user applications. • Embedded systems & firmware MCU/MPU-based development, RTOS, embedded Linux, device drivers, hardware communication protocols, low-power optimization, OTA updates. • Hardware development & prototyping Electronics design, schematics, PCB development, hardware bring-up, testing, validation, and preparation for mass production. • Connectivity & communication BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, LTE/cellular, MQTT, sensor integration, and reliable device-to-cloud communication. • IoT cloud platforms AWS IoT, device management, telemetry pipelines, real-time monitoring, analytics, and scalable backend architectures. • Connected applications Web dashboards, mobile apps, desktop applications, admin portals, device management platforms, and third-party integrations. Typical IoT products I work with: • Industrial IoT & Industry 4.0 Connected machinery, predictive maintenance, industrial automation, sensor networks, and remote monitoring. • Smart Home & Building Automation Connected devices, automation platforms, energy management, and intelligent control systems. • Healthcare & Wearables Connected medical devices, monitoring solutions, wearable ecosystems, and compliance-focused development. • Energy & Infrastructure Smart metering, energy monitoring, telemetry systems, and remote control solutions. • Location-based products GPS tracking, asset tracking, fleet monitoring, and safety-focused connected devices. • Robotics & Drones UAV/UGV/UAS platforms, telemetry, control systems, and autonomous solutions. Selected project experience: • GPS tracking ecosystem Built a connected solution combining hardware devices, firmware, cloud infrastructure, mobile applications, and management dashboards for real-time tracking and alerts. • Wearable safety platform Developed an IoT wearable ecosystem with embedded software, wireless connectivity, cloud services, and user-facing applications. • Industrial monitoring solution Created a sensor-based platform for collecting operational data, processing telemetry, and providing actionable insights through dashboards. Why clients work with me: • Strong industrial and commercial product development experience I work with complex products where reliability, scalability, security, and real-world constraints matter. • Ability to handle both hardware and software challenges IoT success depends on how all system components work together - not isolated development tasks. • Clear communication and structured development process Transparent milestones, technical documentation, predictable execution, and clear ownership at every stage. • Focus on practical solutions I help teams avoid unnecessary complexity and choose architectures that fit actual product goals. • Long-term support mindset Project scope for reference: Phase 01 – Definition & Architecture: $15k–$25k Discovery, requirements analysis, system architecture, technology selection, and roadmap creation. Phase 02 – Prototype & Validation: $35k–$120k Hardware prototypes, firmware, cloud infrastructure, applications, testing, and product validation. Phase 03 – Production Readiness: $60k–$250k+ Production optimization, manufacturing support, certification preparation, scalability improvements, and deployment. My approach: I don’t start with coding. I start by understanding the product vision, business goals, technical constraints, and future scaling requirements. The goal is to create IoT systems that work reliably in real-world conditions, avoid expensive redesigns, and provide a strong foundation for future growth. If you’re building a connected product involving hardware, firmware, cloud, or device management - feel free to share your idea. I'm ready to help evaluate the technical approach and identify the most practical path forward. Worth a chat?
