Owner at RAF Research
San Jose, California, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorBob Feretich is the owner of RAF Research in San Jose with 15 years of experience designing computer systems, web architectures, and CAD application software. He combines deep Java servlet/JSP development and advanced algorithmic programming with hands-on embedded systems expertise, having contributed low-level STM32F7 support and sensor drivers to the NuttX RTOS used in the PX4 ecosystem. Comfortable spanning high-level web stacks to hardware register and DMA-level debugging, he is adept at turning mathematical models into production-grade software. His work reflects an uncommon mix of systems architecture and firmware craftsmanship, making him equally effective on cloud-hosted services and microcontroller targets. Based in Silicon Valley, he brings entrepreneurial leadership together with practical engineering rigor developed through running his own consultancy.
