About

Sukhman Herr

I am an electrical engineering student at UBC specializing in embedded systems and power electronics. My work spans from schematic capture and PCB layout through real-time firmware and production validation.

I care about systems that are reliable in the field — not just on the bench. Whether it is diagnosing a pole-pair mismatch in a BLDC motor driver or building a cellular-fallback frost-monitoring network for a vineyard, I follow faults to their root and fix them properly.

Experience

Nov 2025 – Feb 2026

Penticton, BC

Embedded Systems Engineering Intern

H.B. Bro's Vineyards

  • Owned design of a multi-node ESP32 frost-monitoring network — ESP-NOW low-power nodes with SHT40 temperature/humidity sensing reporting to a base station for cloud upload.
  • Built a telemetry pipeline into InfluxDB Cloud with Grafana dashboards for real-time monitoring and alerting across the vineyard.
  • Defined a versioned sensor packet schema (temperature, humidity, dew point, battery) enabling backward-compatible OTA updates and preventing field-device bricking.
  • Integrated cellular fallback for sites without WiFi with watchdog recovery and per-node calibration; scoping a productization path toward a certified commercial product.
