Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenedikt Schmidt is an embedded engineer based in Innsbruck with five years of hands-on experience building low-level firmware and hardware drivers. He combines a Master’s in Electrical Engineering from TUM with practical roles across embedded consultancies and VoIP operations, bringing both system-level insight and field-proven delivery. At SILA and Embedded Experts he focused on device drivers and board support, contributing upstream to the Zephyr RTOS—including ADC, temperature sensor, SMBus and STM32L451 support. His background in VoIP and team leadership gives him an uncommon mix of communications stack knowledge and people-facing experience. Curious by nature, he gravitates toward complex hardware-software integration challenges and producing production-ready, open-source contributions.
