Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErick Koech is a Qt C++ and Embedded Systems Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building performance-critical firmware and cross-platform applications from Nairobi. He has delivered end-to-end systems including a distributed parcel locker platform (Qt6 C++ frontend with Go backend) and a multi-product firmware architecture deployed across 100+ STM32-based devices. His work spans low-level real-time drivers, custom high-speed CAN protocols with fragmentation and fault recovery, and developer-facing tooling such as Qt5/6 and modern C++ training curricula. Erick combines practical mechatronics know-how with software discipline—designing OTA-capable bootloaders, test-driven drivers, and compile-time polymorphic frameworks that reduce variant complexity. Notably, he bridges hardware and cloud by enabling HMI integrations and real-time synchronization across distributed embedded fleets.
