Summary
🤩
RockstarAlan Luck is a versatile software and embedded systems engineer with over 25 years in IT, spanning computer repair, networking, full life-cycle software development, and database work. Based in Las Vegas, he specializes in legacy environments like Delphi while routinely bridging disparate systems through automation, robotics, and sensor platforms such as Arduino. An avid open-source contributor to OpenWrt/ImmortalWrt, he has hands-on experience modifying device trees, enabling hardware features, and producing encrypted factory images for D-Link routers—skills that show deep hardware integration and build-system expertise. Known as a creative problem solver who enjoys fixing things he initially knows nothing about, he thrives on converting and modernizing legacy systems and connecting devices that don’t naturally communicate.
