Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Heinrich is an embedded hardware and firmware engineer and co-founder with 12 years of experience building and shipping digital hardware—from PCB design and small-batch assembly to firmware for Arm Cortex-M and embedded Linux. Based in Prague, he runs Beetlecrab, where he develops boutique digital synthesizers, and freelances on hardware prototyping and firmware projects. His open-source contributions span Raspberry Pi video tooling and STM32 support in mbed-os, including low-level camera video/raw output work and CAN/TRNG/FLASH enhancements that show attention to both multimedia pipelines and robust MCU integration. He combines academic training in computer vision and robotics with practical skills in KiCad, Buildroot, and ROS, and has a knack for turning hardware quirks into reliable system behavior. Notably, his camera work includes publishing motion vectors into ROS, reflecting an uncommon blend of embedded video processing and robotics tooling.
