Senior🎓
Top SchoolCedrick Kukela is a software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in embedded systems and IoT firmware, currently based in Raleigh, NC. He has blended hardware and software skills across roles at Connected Development, Qualcomm, and Troxler, delivering board support, modem initialization fixes, and power-control improvements for ARM Mbed platforms. Cedrick’s projects range from a voice-controlled smart cooler and GPS-enabled microcontroller displays to robotic motion programming, line-tracking vehicles, and analog PID cruise control—demonstrating a rare comfort with both low-level C/C++ and control-theory techniques. His background in computer engineering and experience with pole placement, state-space analysis, and transmission-line considerations inform robust, physics-aware designs. An active contributor to the ARMmbed/mbed-os ecosystem, he’s improved peripheral pin configurations and PPP modem support for the MTS Dragonfly platform. He combines pragmatic board-level debugging with system-level stability analysis to ship reliable embedded products.
