Galcom International

Firmware Developer

September 2024 - July 2025

I developed firmware for a company that makes custom solar-powered radio & audio player devices based on embedded applications of ESP8266 and ESP32 S2. I also met common tech support needs such as troubleshooting computers, printers, and other devices.

Here are a few key responsibilities I handled:

  1. Software:
    • Wrote firmware for custom devices using C++ for ESP8266 and ESP32 S2, ensuring functionality, reliability, and longevity.
    • Developed and deployed a usage-data recording and collection pipeline to analyse user behaviour and preferences concerning these offline devices, while maintaining privacy and security measures.
    • Introduced extensive documentation for the firmware, usage-data collection pipeline, and other related processes., ensuring a clear understanding of the software's functionality and usage.
  2. Hardware:
    • Troubleshot and repaired faulty and damaged player components, including micro soldering on the PCBs.
    • Helped non-technical colleagues in troubleshooting and fixing their own devices.
    • Built test jigs for testing components of the radio & player devices
