Stack and risk diagnosis for products; career direction for engineers.
Roadmap & decision-making
Architecture milestones for embedded/IoT; seniority on trade-offs and communication.
Execution & continuous growth
Releases, observability, hardening, plus community/mentoring follow-up.
About Osmar
I build reliable embedded and edge systems for industrial environments. My background spans BSP customization, secure boot, OTA pipelines, and the practical realities of keeping devices running in the field.
I’ve shipped Yocto-based products, ZephyrOS/RTOS modules, and ROS/robotics prototypes that transition into hardened products. On the security side, I deliver XDR/endpoint agents that observe, defend, and integrate with enterprise workflows.
I combine hands-on engineering with architectural leadership: aligning requirements, designing system boundaries, and keeping the build/release workflow clean. My edge is pairing deep engineering with clear communication and a bias against fragile workarounds.
Why me
For companies
Embedded Linux, industrial IoT, and endpoint/XDR expertise to ship predictable products with observability, security, and long-term maintainability.
From prototype to product: embedded platforms, rugged gateways, and cross-platform security agents with clear milestones and risk reduction.
BSP customization, secure boot, OTA pipelines, board bring-up, and production-ready images.
Gateways, rugged devices, telemetry, remote control, and integration with cloud/SCADA.
Cross-platform agents (Linux/Win/macOS), kernel/event integrations, observability, hardening.
Profiling, resource tuning, watchdogs, graceful degradation, and resilience patterns.
Code/design reviews, architecture guidance, and hands-on pairing to unlock teams.
Examples of engagements across embedded Linux, industrial IoT, and endpoint security — focused on reliability in the field.
Problem
Needed unified endpoint coverage across Linux, Windows, and macOS with low footprint.
Solution
Built cross-platform agent with kernel/event integrations, telemetry batching, secure update path, and rigorous hardening.
Impact
Improved detection coverage, reduced resource usage, and enabled faster incident response.
Problem
Remote monitoring and control for GNV dispensers with safety and uptime requirements.
Solution
Designed embedded controller with telemetry, failsafes, remote command layer, and integration with field diagnostics.
Impact
Increased availability, reduced on-site maintenance visits, and clear observability for operators.
Problem
Needed reliable BLE-to-cloud gateway resilient to noise and constrained links.
Solution
Implemented gateway firmware with connection heuristics, buffering, and secure tunneling; tuned for harsh RF environments.
Impact
Stable data capture in noisy factories and simplified deployments with OTA-ready images.
Problem
Transitioning robotics prototypes to production-grade embedded platforms.
Solution
Created Yocto layers, containerized dev toolchain, and CI artifacts to package ROS2 components into hardened images.
Impact
Shorter release cycles, reproducible builds, and predictable performance in the field.
Mentoring
For professionals who want to grow fast, gain clarity, and deepen both technical mastery and engineering maturity.
Not just commands or tutorials. The focus is on thinking, deciding, and delivering like an embedded systems engineer: product-aware, architecture-driven, and clear with stakeholders.
