About Me

My name is Elis Purkov and I am a professional embedded system, machine vision, and robot software developer with a strong educational background (graduated from the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, Ljubljana). I have more than 7 years of working experience in the fields of embedded system development, industrial robotics, and complex machine vision applications. I am also a freelancer who likes to work project-based.

What I Do

Embedded systems

My primary focus is developing embedded software for ARM, AVR, and ESP32 microcontrollers. My key skills are C/C++ programming and multithreaded applications. I also have strong skills in wireless communication (BLE, WMBus, GSM, Iridium, etc.), as well as low-level (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.) and higher-level (TCP, UDP, MQTT, etc.) protocols.

Industrial robotics

I develop robot software for EPSON, Stäubli, and FANUC industrial robots (SCARA and 6-Axis) with or without a combination of industrial machine vision systems. I also have a vast understanding of industrial communication protocols, such as Profibus, Profinet, RS232, RS485, Modbus, etc.

Machine vision

I design and develop industrial machine vision systems, focusing on using Cognex and Keyence smart systems. I also develop custom vision applications written in .NET using C# with a focus on object-oriented programming. I write custom libraries for third-party frame grabbers and cameras, such as Basler, Opto Engineering, and The Imaging Source. 

Desktop applications

I design and develop custom desktop applications written in .NET for use in the industry. I have a deep understanding of object-oriented principles, test-driven development, design patterns, and other good practices.

Resume

Education

2010 - 2014
Ljubljana Faculty of Computer and Information Science

Computer science

We have been learning various programming languages, such as Java, C, and Python. We have also been learning about computer architecture, database design, embedded systems, signal processing, web technologies, industrial automation, parallel processing, system programming, and Linux.

2006 - 2010
Nova Gorica Technical School Center

Secondary school for computer science

We have been learning various programming languages, such as Java and Python. We have also been learning about networking, databases, logic circuits, and computer architecture in general.

Experience

2020 - Current
EMA d.o.o. (BlueTraker)

Lead firmware developer

My job is to develop custom firmware for smart sensors and satellite tracking and monitoring devices used by fishing boats. I am currently writing firmware for ARM and ESP32 microcontrollers, where my main focus is using FreeRTOS and the development of various custom communication protocols, which use CAN, WMBus, BLE, GSM, IRIDIUM, and other communication channels.

2016 - 2020
Hidria technology center

Machine vision, robotics, and embedded systems specialist

My job was to develop advanced machine vision and robotics applications for big industrial production lines for domestic and international customers. Besides that, I have also been developing PCBs for custom lighting and other controllers, specifically used for machine vision and robotics applications. These controllers had an ARM and an AVR microcontroller, with my own custom firmware.

2015 - 2016
Ljubljana Faculty of Computer and Information Science

Leader of a makerspace

My job was to teach students how to design simple PCBs and how to develop custom firmware for ARM and AVR microcontrollers.
