Summary
🤩
RockstarAlex Stanoev is a research engineer with 14 years’ experience specializing in low-power wireless protocols and embedded IoT systems. Based in the Netherlands/UK, he combines R&D rigor with hands-on firmware development, frequently contributing to the Contiki-NG OS for next-generation IoT devices. His work includes platform-specific drivers and hardware interfaces—USB CDC-ACM with SLIP and dbg-io for nRF52840, JTAG configs for CC26xx/CC13xx, and sensor fixes—demonstrating deep familiarity with constrained devices and wireless stacks. He balances research-oriented problem solving with pragmatic engineering, shipping production-ready drivers and bootloader/DFU flows for dongles. Notably, he adapts to evolving vendor APIs (e.g., Simplelink I2C) and bridges the gap between protocol design and low-level hardware integration.
