Summary
Aaron Sierra is an embedded systems specialist and entrepreneur with 16 years of experience designing digital hardware, FPGA firmware, and low-level software. As owner of Bubbl-Tek and former Principal Engineer at Extreme Engineering Solutions, he has spent the last decade-plus leading a small team to provide Linux, U-Boot, and iPXE support across a wide range of single-board computers and peripherals while serving as primary developer and debugger. He is fluent in C and Python, experienced across Freescale/NXP and Intel SoCs, and comfortable developing drivers for Linux, U-Boot, iPXE—and even Windows. Known for combining hardware-level insight with systems software pragmatism, he excels at resolving thorny hardware-software interaction bugs that others often miss. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, he pairs a BS in Computer Engineering from UW–Madison with deep hands-on expertise that bridges schematic, firmware, and OS-level concerns.
