From the Himalayas — engineering at the lowest level. I grew up where the power drops without warning, and you learn to respect infrastructure instead of assuming it. That instinct carried into firmware: for nearly 5 years I've written production C and C++ for John Deere's Gen4/Gen5 Command Center displays on embedded Linux, where memory, timing, and power are constraints you design around, not clean up after. I maintain AgIsoStack++, the open-source ISOBUS stack agricultural equipment runs on, and still reach for Python whenever a problem needs a script instead of a framework.
