Summary
Charles Steinmetz is a research scientist and IoT software architect with 11 years of experience bridging embedded systems, digital twins, and Industry 4.0 initiatives. Currently at ABB, he shapes IoT software architectures while bringing prior academic leadership in applying GAIA-X concepts to vehicle edge devices. He has a strong mobile background—developing native Android apps since 2012—and now focuses on Dart/Flutter projects that leverage geographic data, maps, and local databases. Proficient in Python, Git, REST APIs and HMI design for embedded platforms, he combines hands-on implementation with systems-level research driven by product life-cycle and ontology-aware approaches. Holding an MSc in Computer Science and pursuing Dr.-Ing studies, he translates academic rigor into practical solutions for industrial IoT. An unusual strength is his long-running mix of field mobile development and formal research, enabling pragmatic prototypes that scale into production-grade architectures.
