Muhammet Özmen

Junior Embedded Software Engineer

I develop C/C++ on STM32/ARM Cortex-M in bare-metal and Linux user space. I write drivers based on UART/I2C/SPI, ADC/PWM, DMA, and interrupts; build desktop interfaces with Qt, and develop on-device AI models with OpenCV and TFLite Micro. I also have IoT and LLM-based projects.
