I have done job as Embedded System Engineer for just four months but after it i have decided to open my own lab and to work on projects that i can launch my own product in market. I work on different softwares like Proteus, Mikroc to program Embedded Systems. My basic work is on Embedded Systems. I have skills in Autocad, Proteus, C++, C programming and i love to share these skills to other to enhance my knowledge too.
