Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCyril Fougeray is an embedded software engineer with 12 years of experience designing and shipping low-power connected devices and firmware for production products. He has led firmware development from component selection and bootloader design to CI-driven release processes, notably as Lead Firmware Engineer at Equisense and currently bringing the Orb proof-of-personhood device to life at Tools for Humanity. Cyril contributes to the Zephyr RTOS upstream—adding STM32 drivers, ADC and power-management support—demonstrating deep familiarity with real-time kernels and hardware interfaces. He also built an Algorand microcontroller SDK in C and runs Vertices Network, helping customers prototype, build and maintain IoT products. Comfortable across bare-metal C, Nordic SDKs, BLE and power optimization, he pairs system-level thinking with pragmatic delivery in startups and research settings. A subtle strength is his habit of automating quality and analytics (CI, BigQuery dashboards) to keep firmware reliable at scale.
