Senior connected-product engineer with more than ten years of experience. I build the whole stack: device firmware, the companion app, and the cloud backend.
I look for contract and project work first, through my company NRB Tech. I would also consider a permanent role in connected hardware or climate tech.
Things I have built:
- A field-updatable Zephyr firmware platform and apps for AirTurn's Bluetooth pedals, with an SDK that apps such as forScore and OnSong use
- An LTE-M vehicle-security product (firmware, SwiftUI app, AWS/MQTT backend) with PKI and secure OTA updates
- USB-MIDI and BLE firmware with signed, rollback-safe updates for guitar controllers
- Wiggle, a home energy monitoring app (SwiftUI, FastAPI, PostgreSQL), now in beta testing
I care most about devices that last for years in the field: secure boot, OTA with rollback, power management, and diagnostics.
