The integration layer between systems
I bring together microcontrollers, application processors, Linux workloads, QNX services, and Android-facing components. From early bring-up through stabilization, I make the interfaces between them dependable.
Hi, I'm Andrei.
embedded::Platform::Engineer<Linux, QNX>
I work where operating systems, processors, and product software have to become one reliable platform. I design and integrate embedded software across QNX, Linux, Android, and multi-SoC systems.
I build C/C++ services, IPC frameworks, hardware-abstraction layers, communication software, and system middleware—from early bring-up through integration, stabilization, and delivery. My experience includes automotive and safety-critical platforms, but the work itself is fundamentally embedded systems engineering.

01
Embedded platform expertise
QNX, Linux, and Android working as one platform
Hands-on with QNX Neutrino and QNX Hypervisor systems where QNX operates as the host/control domain and Android runs as a QVM guest. I build the middleware and transport layers that make those boundaries useful.
Tooling that accelerates delivery
I automate the repetitive integration work: Python code generation from CSV specifications, firmware packaging, raw SOME/IP analysis, and cross-compilation workflows across QNX, GCC, and Tasking toolchains.

Selected embedded work
Public, inspectable engineering work that demonstrates how I structure data flows across authority boundaries, middleware services, and native applications.

QNX Vehicle Property Gateway
A virtual automotive platform that keeps vehicle state authoritative in QNX and exposes versioned, VHAL-compatible properties to applications inside a Linux qvm guest.
- QNX resource manager as the vehicle-state authority
- Protobuf/gRPC over qvm virtual Ethernet
- Non-authoritative property cache in the Linux guest
- Traceable reads, writes, health, and subscriptions

Linux-native VHAL-compatible property service
A public technical demonstration of vehicle-property mapping, authoritative writes, subscriptions, provider health handling, and local Unix-domain socket IPC—without requiring Android Automotive OS or proprietary vehicle code.
- Initial state synchronization and guest-side caching
- Android-compatible vehicle property mapping
- Batched reads, writes, and streamed events
- Provider loss, reconnection, and resynchronization

Present
DXC Luxoft — Automotive Division
Embedded Systems Engineer
Infotainment and cluster platform development on a multi-SoC system with QNX Neutrino as the host/control domain under QNX Hypervisor and Android as a QVM guest.
- Designed and implemented a QNX Neutrino shared-memory client/server IPC framework that became the standard interface across platform services.
- Built protobuf/gRPC transport services between QNX middleware and Android VHAL-facing components for vehicle and sensor data exposure.
- Integrated UART and SPI paths between Aurix vehicle processors, QNX services, and Android-facing software; developed C++17 QNX middleware and C modules on Aurix.
- Created Python code-generation tooling from CSV specifications and supported QNX and Tasking cross-compilation workflows.
- Contributed to ASPICE SWE.3 and SWE.4 through detailed design documentation and VectorCAST unit tests.
