👋 Welcome, I'm Luis David Garcia

🚀 Embedded Systems Developer | Modern C++ | Tooling & Real-Time Systems

🧠 About Me

I'm an Embedded Systems Developer with a passion for building robust, efficient software in modern C++ for resource-constrained platforms. I specialize in:

🖥️ Firmware & drivers for ARM Cortex-M, STM32, and Zynq SoCs
🧪 Containerized build/test environments using Docker and QEMU
🧰 Infrastructure tooling for CI/CD, flashing, and hardware testing
🔧 Real-time and low-level systems using Zephyr RTOS, Linux, and bare metal
🧵 Multithreading, protocol stacks, and sensor interfaces (I2C, UART, SPI)

My work bridges the gap between embedded firmware and infrastructure tooling, with a strong belief in reproducibility, memory safety, and performance-first design.
