Debugging My Way Through Life

This is me, Aram.

About me

Hi, I’m Aram — born in 1993.
I have over 10 years of experience in programming, with a deep focus on embedded software development. Throughout my journey, I’ve explored many technologies, tasted some truly “delicious” concepts, and built a wide range of projects.

Along the way, I started a few startups—they didn’t succeed, but they taught me invaluable lessons about creativity, failure, and resilience. I’ve worked with both small startups and large companies, which helped me grow in different directions.

To be honest, I’m not sure what my exact title is—and I don't think it matters. What matters is: I love building things. I love learning. I love solving problems.

I specialize in embedded systems development, and I also work with FPGAs. If you're curious about my experience and what I’ve built—scroll down and take a look 👇

Projects and Experience

Sensit GmbH (Create Haptic Feedback)

At Sensit GmbH, a tech company based in Potsdam, Germany, I contributed to cutting-edge haptic systems that bring immersive feedback to the gaming world. Sensit’s products transform in-game audio and data into physical sensations—enhancing gameplay experiences in setups like sim racing and gaming chairs.

As an Embedded Software and FPGA Developer, I worked across the full embedded stack—from writing firmware for LPC microcontrollers and building FreeRTOS-based communication systems, to developing VHDL modules for Lattice FPGAs and designing PCBs in KiCad. My work focused on digital signal processing, real-time system optimization, and hardware-software integration for next-gen gaming feedback systems.

Fever Gadget

Fever Gadget was a startup I co-founded in 2020, focused on developing a smart wearable device for continuous body temperature monitoring in babies. The product was a compact sensor placed under the baby's armpit, capable of wirelessly sending temperature and posture data to a smartphone via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
The device not only tracked fever with high precision (±0.1°C after calibration) but also detected the baby's body position (e.g., lying on the back or stomach). In potentially dangerous situations, it could trigger alerts for the parents in real time.

We used the TI CC2540 chip for BLE communication and optimized for ultra-low power consumption, allowing the device to run on a single coin cell battery for up to one year of continuous use.
As a co-founder, I was deeply involved in all aspects of development, including:

Firmware development in C, using the TI BLE stack
Schematic and PCB layout design
Digital signal processing to enhance temperature measurement accuracy
Backend server development to store and sync data from the mobile app

This project was a hands-on, full-stack hardware startup experience—from circuit design to cloud integration.

IoT Mote for University (Freelance Project)

As a freelance project for a university, I developed an educational IoT mote used by students for research and thesis work related to Internet of Things (IoT) networks.

The board was built around the TI CC2530 chip, which supports low-power wireless communication and was used to test IPSO/6LoWPAN networking protocols. The mote included all essential peripherals for academic experimentation and full protocol testing.

To support real-time applications, the mote ran a lightweight operating system called Contiki OS. I developed custom drivers for all onboard peripherals to ensure seamless integration with Contiki and enable hands-on, OS-level programming for students.

Patient Monitoring & Nurse Call System

I designed and implemented a patient monitoring system for a hospital. The system included a wearable belt device that monitored the patient’s position and activity after surgery.

Doctors could define the allowed sleeping position for each patient. If the patient rolled into a dangerous position or accidentally fell off the bed, the system would instantly alert the nursing station.

The device also allowed patients to call for help at any time. At the nurse station, staff could monitor each patient’s status, including alerts and whether the bed safety rails were open or closed.

This system helped improve patient safety and gave nurses a better way to monitor multiple patients efficiently.

Robotic & Electronic School for kids

One of the projects I really enjoy and still work on is helping a friend set up a robotics and electronics school for children.

This school works like a charity, where kids can learn with little or no cost. The goal is to make learning technology fun and available for everyone.

My tasks in this project:

Creating the learning plan for classes
Training the teachers on how to teach kids
Designing and preparing educational kits for the lessons

This project is very close to my heart. It lets me share what I know and help kids get excited about science and technology.
