Summary
👤
SeniorLukas W is an IoT embedded developer with 11 years of hands-on experience across aerospace-grade autopilot software, fintech platforms, and secure embedded systems. Based in Zurich, he currently builds IoT solutions at GARDENA digital hub, focusing on robust firmware and edge computing for connected devices. A prolific contributor to the PX4 Autopilot project, he strengthened the build and test pipelines with sanitizers to catch memory leaks and undefined behavior, improving code quality and reliability. His background spans the full stack of embedded development—from ARM Cortex firmware and C/C++ on resource-constrained devices to Linux-based service layers and REST interfaces for broad consumption. He has led architectural refactors toward modular, test-driven C++ designs, notably during his tenure at Kaba where he steered a large firmware rewrite for reuse and security. He blends hands-on engineering with a systems-level mindset, capable of turning complex hardware constraints into maintainable, scalable software across industries.
