Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Elder is a Senior Technical Account Manager and seasoned IoT solutions architect with 10+ years of hands-on experience building secure, cloud-integrated device platforms and embedded systems. He has led platform and cloud engineering at Crypto Quantique—translating quantum-driven device identity and PKI concepts into production microservices using Go, Python, C and Rust—and now advises customers on product adoption and scaling at Blynk. Equally comfortable in firmware and backend stacks, Anthony has contributed practical LoRa radio fixes to a widely used Arduino library, highlighting his attention to low-level radio and interoperability issues. He combines deep cryptography and IoT protocol knowledge (TLS, MQTT, x509/PKCS11) with a track record of shipping agile, containerized systems on AWS/GCP/Azure. With an Oxford MS and recent postgraduate work in AI/ML from Imperial College, he blends rigorous engineering, security-first design, and a curiosity for emerging tech into commercial outcomes.

Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:9 commits, 7 PRs, 48 comments in 1 year 4 months
Contributions summary:Anthony primarily contributed to the `arduino-lora` library, focusing on enhancements and bug fixes related to the LoRa radio communication. Their work included adding features to determine the frequency error of packets, which involved modifying the core `LoRa.cpp` and `LoRa.h` files. The user also addressed type corrections, and integrated code to correctly set the Low Data Rate Optimization flag. They further updated the library with necessary preprocessor directives for ESP8266 and ESP32 compatibility and other code cleanups.
