Hello there, I'm

Mohamed GALY

Embedded System Engineer

Available for Permanent/Fixed-term Contracts or Freelance Projects

I've spent my career bringing software as close to the hardware as possible. From developing AUTOSAR control systems at Stellantis, to validating ECU diagnostics at Magna Steyr, to commissioning HiL test systems at AVL, I've always been into the kind of work where the smallest detail makes the biggest difference. Today I keep building, whether it's writing firmware, designing PCBs, or prototyping embedded systems on my own. For me, precision matters, and understanding the hardware is just as important as writing the code that drives it.

About Me

Mohamed GALY

I'm Mohamed GALY, an Embedded Systems Engineer holding a Master's Degree (Diplôme d'Ingénieur) from École Centrale d'Électronique, Paris. My professional path has taken me through leading automotive companies including Stellantis, Magna Steyr, and AVL, where I contributed to AUTOSAR-compliant control system development using MATLAB/Simulink, ECU diagnostic specification and validation under ISO 14229 (UDS), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) test environment commissioning with dSPACE platforms. These experiences gave me a strong understanding of how embedded software integrates into the broader vehicle development lifecycle.

My technical foundation is built on C/C++ development for bare-metal and real-time systems across multiple microcontroller families including STM32, PIC, and FPGA-based platforms. I focus on writing clean, efficient register-level drivers for peripherals such as USART, SPI, I2C, CAN, ADC, and DMA. Beyond firmware development, I also work with Embedded Linux using Buildroot, BusyBox, and Yocto, and design hardware with KiCad PCB design.

I created this website to document my projects, share practical knowledge, and connect with engineers passionate about embedded systems. Whether developing bare-metal drivers, building real-time embedded applications, designing PCB prototypes, or experimenting with IoT systems, I enjoy turning ideas into solutions that run on real hardware. I strongly believe in learning by doing, staying curious, and continuously building the next thing.
