Summary
Carlos Hernandez is a Wi‑Fi software engineer and engineering leader with nine years of embedded networking development experience and over eight years in strategic management, currently working at Apple in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has taken R&D concepts to product at scale—shipping a cloud‑based, vendor‑agnostic monitoring and management agent deployed in 100+ CPEs that improved broadband and Wi‑Fi for millions of users. Skilled in low‑level C engineering, cross‑platform toolchains, and data‑driven cloud services, he pairs deep protocol and chipset knowledge with measurable outcomes like six patents in performance monitoring and diagnostics. As a director he’s grown and scaled distributed teams, introduced HAL APIs to streamline vendor integrations, and led product features from embedded firmware to mobile UX. Notably, he reverse‑engineered chipset tools to enable cloud diagnostics and built automated documentation and test tooling (including a Lua‑based test harness) to accelerate integrations. Fluent in Spanish and English, he blends hands‑on technical craft with mentorship and process optimization to deliver reliable networking products.
