Embedded Systems & IoT
Hello, I'm Omariba Collins
Embedded & IoT Systems EngineerI specialize in Embedded Systems Development (Hardware + Firmware), with backend development as a complementary skill for IoT.
I specialize in Embedded Systems Development (Hardware + Firmware), with backend development as a complementary skill for IoT.
A selection of some of the hardware and software systems I've designed and prototyped, physical, digital, and everything between.
Smart Learning Toy Car Robot
AI voice-controlled robot car built on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a reSpeaker mic HAT, driven from a custom web app and Bluetooth companion app.
02
ESP32 IoT 4-Layer PCB
Production-style board with RF-aware layout, battery backup, and SD data logging.
03
Autonomous Mobile Robot
ROS2 robot with LiDAR SLAM and autonomous navigation, built with Team R.O.O.K. Droid.
04
Microcontroller Programming
Bare-metal AVR work, C, C++, assembly, ATmega328P, and Proteus simulations.
Close to the hardware, comfortable in the cloud, and comfortable bridging the two.
Firmware-first embedded design and multi-platform hardware development across MCU, MPU, and SoC architectures, schematics, power design, layout, and bring-up.
I work close to the hardware, where performance, power, and reliability decisions are made at the system level.
Beyond the device layer, back-ends that support IoT deployments: device communication, telemetry ingestion, observability, and scalable cloud integration.
My aim: extend edge devices through reliable data flow, remote management, and system visibility.
I specialize in designing embedded systems, and can also work on the back-ends that bring them to life, from silicon-level bring-up to IoT telemetry streaming.
Designing, prototyping, and testing embedded systems for water and energy solutions while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
I also work on back-end infrastructure for user-facing applications that enable remote monitoring and control of systems plus contribute to technical documentation, field testing, and continuous improvement of deployed solutions.
Successfully launched 3 model rockets powered by fully tested K class solid rocket motors.
I was part of the rocket propulsion team developing and testing a K class solid rocket motor.
Designed motor parts based on simulation values & machined them, designed remote testing & ignition circuitry, programmed microcontrollers for remote ignition & data collection, and analyzed collected data.
