About

The Engineer Behind the Code

I'm Mohamed Abd El-Raouf, a Senior Firmware Engineer with a deep passion for embedded systems. My journey spans over a decade across IoT, Automotive (ASIL-D), and Biomedical domains — from Orange R&D Labs in Cairo to ETAS in Stuttgart.

I spearheaded firmware development for Orange POPS, an asset tracking device that won the IoT Evolution Asset Tracking Award and was nominated as IoT Device of the Year at the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

I'm driven by clean architecture, rigorous testing, and the satisfaction of shipping firmware that just works — reliably, safely, and efficiently, even in the most demanding environments.
