Industrial software and embedded systems developer focused on reliable tools for production, firmware, diagnostics, and edge systems.
I build small, focused C/C#/C++ libraries and applications for real-world use: embedded storage, runtime safety, industrial communication, monitoring, data acquisition, and practical AI-assisted development workflows.
My usual design bias:
- predictable behavior
- small integration surface
- clear failure modes
- zero or minimal dependencies
- tests before claims
- tools that solve real problems, not demo problems
I am currently looking for collaborators who can help with testing, hardware validation, examples, documentation review, and real-world feedback on embedded C projects.
Main areas:
- embedded C testing
- MCU hardware validation
- storage and power-loss testing
- reliability and diagnostics
- industrial/edge use cases
- examples and integration feedback
If you are working with firmware, MCU platforms, RTOS/bare-metal systems, or industrial devices and want to test or review any of these projects, feel free to reach out.
loxdb is a compact embedded database written in C99 for firmware and small edge runtimes.
It combines three storage models behind one API surface:
- KV for configuration, cache entries, and TTL-backed state
- Time-series for sensor samples and rolling telemetry
- Relational fixed-schema tables for small indexed structured data
Core design:
- one allocation at
lox_init() - fixed RAM budgeting
- zero external dependencies
- RAM-only or storage-backed operation
- optional WAL-backed persistence and recovery
- embedded-first storage HAL
loxdb is not a tiny SQLite clone. SQLite is excellent, but targets a different operating point. loxdb is intentionally narrower: deterministic storage for constrained firmware, dataloggers, controllers, and small edge runtimes where predictable memory and a small integration surface matter more than SQL features.
License: MIT open-source core.
Commercial extension: loxdb_pro_docs contains public API-level documentation for the planned/commercial PRO module set.
loxdb_pro_docs documents the public integration-facing API for the commercial loxdb_pro layer.
The PRO layer is designed for embedded products that need more than storage:
- security and integrity
- runtime safety validation
- metrics, logging, monitoring, and alerting
- policy gates, quotas, retention, and scheduling
- backup and schema migration
- replication and transport framing
- OTA planning and rollback hooks
- CLI tooling
- optional SD card and NAND/FTL adapters
The public repository intentionally contains documentation only. The implementation and proprietary validation procedures are not published there.
loxguard is a lightweight C99 guard-runtime for embedded C.
It introduces Guard Blocks and Checked Guard Blocks: explicit execution boundaries around risky code such as parsers, protocol handlers, optional modules, and recovery-sensitive routines.
Instead of only failing with an assert or watchdog reset, loxguard turns failures into structured runtime evidence:
- lifecycle events
- policy decisions
- blackbox records
- reports
- CSV/KV import-export paths
- optional persistence and ecosystem adapters
Current scope includes checked span/arena primitives, Guard Block lifecycle tracking, failure reporting, policy decisions, local blackbox evidence, and host-tested integration paths.
loxguard does not claim full memory safety for arbitrary C code and is not a safety-certified framework. Its value is narrower: make unsafe execution states easier to detect, record, and react to in small embedded C systems.

Most of my projects follow the same rule:
small code, clear contracts, real tests, and no claims without evidence.
