Brennan Koopman is an embedded applications developer with nine years of hands-on experience building real-time firmware and platform software for industrial and consumer devices. He has delivered performance-focused solutions—from halving Zynq7000 FSBL boot time to shrinking RAM and code footprints in platform-agnostic C frameworks—while working with QNX, IMX8, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and custom BSPs. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs low-level driver and bootloader work with tooling and test automation (Python, Gauge, Cantata) to increase stability and speed time-to-market. Brennan’s background in mechatronics and robotics from the University of Waterloo fuels a strong hardware-software intuition evident in thermal/EMC test tooling and inventive lab builds. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic refactors, mentorship of co-ops, and reproducible test suites that turn complex embedded requirements into reliable products.
