Summary
Demian Zenkov is an Embedded Systems Lead with 11 years of hands-on experience taking products from prototype to mass production, combining firmware, hardware design, and QA for real-time, connected devices. He specializes in C/C++, Python, RTOSes (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, NuttX, ThreadX), ARM and RISC-V MCUs, and constrained ML deployments, with deep practical experience in radio-based RTLS (UWB, radar, WiFi, BLE) and robotics control. Demian has led end-to-end development cycles—schematics, PCB layout, BOM selection, bootloaders, OTA/update systems, and production validation—while integrating cloud APIs, BLE/QUIC stacks and custom drivers. He’s comfortable switching between low-level MCU work and higher-level service integration, and has repeatedly delivered proof-of-concepts that evolved into production firmware and hardware. Based in Limassol, Cyprus, he contributes to open-source projects and brings a pragmatic blend of systems thinking and hands-on debugging that surfaces in field-ready, testable designs.
