Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Dailey is a versatile software leader and Director of Development & Operations with 12 years of professional experience building everything from firmware for microcontrollers to cloud-hosted web applications. Based in Orlando, he blends hands-on embedded systems expertise—demonstrated by contributions to Adafruit's CircuitPython and nRF52 bootloader projects—with operational leadership at Engineering Acoustics. Comfortable across hardware, PCB/board bring-up, game engines, and cloud infrastructure, he’s equally at home defining pin mappings for new boards as shaping development processes. Known for picking up bleeding-edge platforms quickly, he brings a practical, full-stack mindset to product and systems delivery. Outside of day-to-day ops he preserves a curiosity for hardware-software integration that informs more robust, production-ready designs.

CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollers
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:4 reviews, 4 PRs, 22 comments in 2 years 1 month
Contributions summary:Chris primarily worked on defining and modifying pin configurations for various microcontroller boards within the CircuitPython project. Their contributions involved adding, removing, and renaming pin definitions, particularly for SDA/SCL, RX/TX, and user buttons on different nRF-based boards. They also added a new board configuration for the SparkFun MicroMod nRF52840, demonstrating an understanding of hardware pin mapping and board bring-up procedures. Further contributions extended to adjusting user button names for consistency and clarity across multiple boards.
