Andrew Scheller
Software Engineer at Raspberry Pi
Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Summary
🤩
RockstarAndrew Scheller is a seasoned software engineer based in Cambridge with 15 years of experience building embedded, IoT, and developer-focused tooling. He has a deep practical focus on Raspberry Pi ecosystems—contributing to high-profile projects like NOOBS, Pico SDK/examples, gpiozero and the official Raspberry Pi documentation—blending firmware-level changes with user-facing UI and docs. Comfortable across full stack, build systems and DevOps, he has improved build pipelines and CI for projects such as Etcher and CircuitPython and refactored core scripts like PiShrink for robustness. His work often sits at the intersection of hardware and software: adding parameter validation and hardware register generation one commit and localization or UX tweaks the next. A pragmatic technical writer as well as engineer, he routinely improves documentation and developer experience alongside code. Colleagues would note his knack for small, maintainable changes that materially boost reliability and clarity across projects.
