Top SchoolChris Stratton is an IoT and embedded devices engineering consultant with 11 years of focused experience delivering rapid hardware and firmware solutions for low-power wireless sensor networks, LoRaWAN, MCUs, and Embedded Linux systems.

His background includes designing ultrasonic and BLE protocols, audio/video codec work, and live-patching low-level Android/ native code—skills that help him untangle obscure interoperability bugs. Based in Northampton, MA, he operates as a 1099 consultant, thriving on short-turnaround projects that require deep full-stack embedded troubleshooting.
