About
Meet Ilya Pashkovskiy
Hi. My name is Ilya Pashkovskiy. With over 15 years of industry experience as an embedded software engineer, I have had the opportunity to work with many internal and external development teams working on devices predominantly in the medical segment. My expertise spans various microcontroller families and operating systems but is especially strong regarding ARM Cortex-M chips and various real-time operating systems such as ThreadX, Keil RTX5, FreeRTOS, and Zephyr OS.
Over the years, I became passionate about the code quality and the reliability of the devices that I was helping to develop. Often, I was confronted with software defects that took many weeks or even months for me and my colleagues to reproduce and resolve. That was when I learned the importance of using the right specialized tools and techniques for the job at hand and how they can elevate the efficiency of analysis and resolution of embedded software defects.
However, it is too shortsighted to only fix the bugs without asking what design decisions led to them in the first place and how they could have been prevented. Over the years, I learned how to make correct decisions at the architectural level and establish effective workflows for verification and code analysis, thus helping many projects to significantly improve the reliability of the final software.
Testbedded GmbH is a young company that follows my vision of setting new benchmarks for quality in embedded software development.
