Software Engineer at Scallant Tasmota
Canada
Summary
🤩
RockstarAdrian Scillato is a software and hardware engineer with eight years of experience specializing in embedded systems and IoT development. Based in Canada, he contributes to high-profile open-source firmware (notably the arendst/Tasmota project) where he implemented KNX IP protocol support and tightened integrations with home automation platforms like HomeAssistant. He excels at bridging low-level device communication and higher-level automation, shipping reliable firmware changes that touch core device interaction. Adrian’s work reflects a pragmatic blend of hardware-aware coding and systems thinking, often modifying critical protocol and discovery features rather than surface UI tweaks. Colleagues would describe him as a hands-on developer who prefers solving interoperability and protocol challenges that make connected devices truly local and dependable.
