Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCzesław Makarski is a Lead Embedded Software Engineer based in Krakow with 7 years of hands-on experience designing and shipping low-level radio and IoT firmware. He progressed from software engineer to product owner and now leads embedded development at VIOTAS, bringing practical expertise from Nordic Semiconductor where he contributed to core nRF Connect SDK and nrfutil projects. His work spans 802.15.4 PHY testing, MPSL/SoftDevice integrations, and secure Zigbee OTA flows—demonstrated by contributions like EUI64 randomization and OTA server updates in the widely used pc-nrfutil tooling. Comfortable bridging product and engineering, he pairs device-level coding and unit testing with API and documentation improvements to reduce field issues. Trained in electronics, telecommunications and experimental physics, he blends rigorous measurement-driven thinking with leadership skills honed as a product owner.
