Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrad Campbell is a Chief Architect with 13 years of experience designing cloud-native, secure platforms and leading platform engineering teams across startups and enterprise organizations. He founded IRALOGIX's first enterprise architecture practice and has held senior roles from DevSecOps principal to director-level security and cloud positions, blending hands-on systems work with strategic leadership. His engineering roots include substantial open-source contributions to embedded and IoT projects like Tock and Contiki—work that demonstrates low-level hardware integration, driver development, and cross-platform tooling for constrained devices. Comfortable moving between firmware, cloud architecture, and security, he’s delivered resilient, auditable systems for customers in finance, government, and commercial sectors. Based in Charlottesville, VA, he is also an active public speaker who brings practical operational experience and a hardware-to-cloud perspective that many cloud architects don’t typically have.

Mar 2014 - May 2015
Python cross-platform script to upload firmware via the serial boot loader onto the CC13xx, CC2538 and CC26xx SoC.
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:6 commits, 2 PRs, 1 comment in 1 year 2 months
Contributions summary:Brad primarily contributed to the `cc2538-bsl` repository, a Python-based serial bootloader for various Texas Instruments SoCs. Their work involved adding functionality, such as setting the secondary IEEE address and incorporating a Python3 compatibility layer to support both Python 2 and 3. Moreover, the user implemented a mechanism to automatically invoke the bootloader by utilizing DTR and RTS pins and added a delay to resolve Mac-specific timing issues. The user also added an option to disable the bootloader.
