Hi, I’m Simon Ahlström

I'm an embedded systems engineer and maker based in Sweden — passionate about low-level programming, hardware integration, and turning ideas into working prototypes.
Most of my projects mix C/C++, Python, and electronics, ranging from ESP32-based displays and motor control to Python tools, Tkinter GUIs, and game-inspired utilities.

What I do

  • Work with embedded software, hardware bring-up, and debugging (CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, FreeRTOS)
  • Design tools for automation, data parsing, and visualization
  • Experiment with UI prototyping (Tkinter, Raylib, Power BI dashboards)
  • Build small games and creative utilities like D&D character generators and interactive story apps

Currently learning

  • Advanced C/C++ for embedded systems
  • RTOS internals & driver design
  • Modern Python patterns (async, GUI structuring, modularity)
  • Git workflows and CI/CD for personal projects

What drives me

I love bridging hardware and software — taking a circuit, a display, or a signal trace and making it do something useful and elegant.
Whether it's a vehicle ECU log parser, a Tkinter-based automation tool, or a home-lab monitoring script, I enjoy designing things that are both technical and human-friendly.

I’m open to collaborate on

  • Embedded utilities, simulators, or hardware-in-loop tools
  • Home automation / maker electronics
  • D&D or game-related creative software ideas
