Adrian Paala

Adrian Paala has extensive experience in embedded systems development. In 2018, they worked as a Hardware Developer at Stenon. From 2017 to 2018, they worked as an Embedded System Developer at Innogermany GmbH, where they were responsible for PCB Design Using Eagle, component part selection and ordering, soldering components on PCBs, programming in C and Java, firmware development on STM32 Cortex M0 Microcontrollers, firmware implementation on BLE SoC, development of driver codes for different kinds of sensors with I2C interface, and Android app prototyping using Android Studio. In 2017, they also worked on personal projects, where they built things from scratch, designed PCBs using Eagle and KiCAD, ordered PCBs online, selected and ordered components, soldered components on boards, programmed in C, developed software on STM32 Cortex M0 Microcontrollers, generated HAL Code using STM32CubeMx, developed software on 8-bit PIC microcontrollers, developed Android apps using Android Studio, developed driver codes for ESP8266 Wifi module, ETRX357 Zigbee module and SI7006 Temperature and Humidity Sensor, and debugged using ST-Link/V2. From 2015 to 2017, they worked as an Embedded System Developer at Bitrelle GmbH, where they were responsible for setting up build systems and toolchains, driver analysis for GPIO, CAN, UART and USB peripherals for a 32-bit ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller, programming in C and C++, USB driver implementation for Windows and Linux/Embedded Linux, GUI development using C++ on QT5 and Visual Studio, Python programming using PyDev on Eclipse, source code management using SVN, and designing PCB layouts using EAGLE Cadsoft. From 2012 to 2015, they were self-employed as an Embedded System Developer, where they programmed 8-bit and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers, utilized the power of a microcontroller by implementing the use of its internal peripheral modules, interfaced microcontrollers with GSM, GPS, accelerometer, RFID, NFC, WIFI, Bluetooth, MP3 encoder/decoder, Hall sensor, touch screen LCD, humidity and temperature sensors, relays, stepper and servo motors, real time clock, ultrasonic sensor, laser range finder, finger print scanner, MMC, EEPROM, serial camera, etc., programmed GUI software using VB, and tested software manually. From 2011 to 2012, they worked part-time as a Mathematics Review Instructor at Top ECE Review Center, where they conducted review classes in Engineering Mathematics and General Science and created Engineering Mathematics problems for weekly, monthly and diagnostic exams. From 2009 to 2011, they worked as a Project Engineer at Electronics Telephone Systems Industry, where they ensured access of different Base Transceiver Stations, Base Station Controllers and Mobile Switching Centers, ensured a complete audit of equipment inside such stations, and traced E1, FE and STM level cross-connects between transmission and base station equipment. From 2007 to 2009, they worked as a Mathematics Review Instructor at Professional ECE Review and Career Development Center Inc., where they conducted review classes in Engineering Mathematics and General Science and created Engineering Mathematics problems for weekly, monthly and diagnostic exams.

Adrian Paala attended the Polytechnic University of the Philippines from 2002 to 2007, where they obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering.
