#EmbeddedSystems

When I started my journey as an embedded systems designer almost two decades ago, the industry was focused heavily on writing firmware for individual devices — controlling motors, reading sensor data, and ensuring microcontrollers ran efficiently. That was the world of embedded systems engineering. Fast forward to today, an IoT engineer’s role is dramatically different: it requires not only building devices but also ensuring they communicate securely across networks, integrate with cloud systems, and generate actionable insights.
