About Praveen Kumar Guda

I\'m an Embedded Software hands-on experience developing real-time, safety-critical, and performance-driven embedded systems. My work bridges the gap between low-level firmware and high-level applications in automotive and industrial environments.I specialize in C/C++ development, RTOS (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and embedded Linux. I’ve developed and integrated drivers for camera stacks, serializers/deserializers, and communication interfaces like CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet, working closely with microcontrollers such as STM32, Qualcomm 8650P, TI TDA4VM, and Renesas RH850.At Eaton, I designed firmware for video input pipelines and implemented real-time communication protocols on VxWorks-based systems. At Qualcomm, I worked on the integration of image sensor drivers and Android services, along with multithreaded applications using POSIX threads and STL in C++14.I’ve also contributed to AUTOSAR-based development at Toyota Connected, where I worked on SPI, PWM, CAN, and other modules using tools like Vector DaVinci Configurator and EB Tresos, ensuring ASPICE compliance. My experience spans across model-based design (Simulink, Embedded Coder), device driver development, system debugging (GDB, Valgrind), and CI/CD pipelines with Git and Jenkins. Tools I frequently use: CANalyzer, CANoe, Vehicle Spy, MATLAB/Simulink, TRACE32, JTAG Technical domains: RTOS, Embedded Linux, AUTOSAR, Safety-Critical Systems, Multithreading, Diagnostic Protocols. Methodologies: Agile, Waterfall, Test-Driven DevelopmentWith a Master\'s in Computer Engineering and a Bachelor\'s in ECE I bring both theoretical understanding and practical know-how. I’m passionate about building reliable, efficient, and scalable embedded solutions that meet rigorous industry standards like ISO 26262, MISRA, and AUTOSAR.
