Top SchoolAllen Huffman is a Firmware Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in C for memory-constrained embedded systems, from oil-industry flow computers to Power-over-Ethernet lighting controllers. He combines industrial product firmware work with a hands-on maker background—Arduino, Raspberry Pi and retro TRS-80 CoCo projects—which informs practical, creative solutions for custom automation and effects. His career includes designing networking protocols, advanced color-fading light control, configuration parsers, and tooling to speed cross-platform development on diverse MCUs.
