Dimitar Tomov is an embedded security engineer and founder with over a decade of hands-on experience delivering secure firmware and IoT/Edge systems across industrial, medical, and consumer domains. He chairs the IoT Workgroup at the Trusted Computing Group and runs TPM.dev and DesignFirst, driving practical adoption of TPM 2.0 and automated TPM updates while also founding companies that attracted enterprise interest. As Principal Engineer at Thistle and former senior roles at wolfSSL and Edge Impulse, he builds developer-friendly secure boot and update clients spanning MCUs to Linux SoCs. A prolific contributor to embedded toolchains, he maintains the wolftpm integration in Buildroot and often adds TPM vendor-specific capabilities and CA bundles. He pairs deep low-level expertise (bootloaders, kernel drivers, TPM/HSM stacks) with a product-first approach, and teaches that knowledge through public training courses and conferences. Based in Sofia, he blends entrepreneurial drive with standards leadership to make hardware security accessible to developers.
