Summary
Aaron Neustedter is a computer scientist with 11 years of experience applying embedded systems, real-time Linux, and cloud-native approaches to industrial automation and controls. He has driven TRL 3–4 research at Rockwell Automation—building isolated research networks and compute clusters, demonstrating containerized time-sensitive applications, and translating experiments into patents and stakeholder-ready narratives. His work at Purdue on the ISOBlue Avena stack shows practical skill moving Docker-based edge stacks onto resource-constrained ARM devices with WireGuard and Ansible for resilient rural deployments. Comfortable across C/C++, Java, Python, Bash, and multiple ISAs, Aaron blends low-level firmware insight with scalable orchestration expertise. Based in Milwaukee, he pairs hands-on prototyping with a track record of delivering demonstrable research outcomes and public-facing exhibits that make complex automation topics accessible.
