Mohamed Azhar developed and integrated hardware support features for Microchip microcontrollers across Zephyr-based repositories, focusing on device drivers, pin control, and board enablement. He implemented pinctrl and GPIO drivers in C and Device Tree, enabling reliable hardware abstraction and configuration for platforms such as PIC32CM, PIC32CZ, and SAM D5x/E5x. Working in repositories like zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr and nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr, Mohamed delivered end-to-end solutions including SPI support, SoC integration, and board-level bring-up. His work emphasized maintainable code, standardized bindings, and robust configuration management, resulting in streamlined hardware onboarding and improved developer productivity for embedded systems using Zephyr RTOS.
