I'm a (freelance) Software Developer and a Systems Engineer with 3 years of professional experience and 8+ years of programming experience. My main focus is in Embedded C and Linux. I'm available at adam.procio@gmail.com for business inquiries and on Mastodon for all else. Currently working at BTL Medical Technologies a.s..

My main skills include GNU/Linux knowledge, C and Python languages and the Yocto build system.
