Ed Sandor is a senior embedded engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade firmware for 5G wireless and automotive systems, currently driving embedded work at Resideo. He’s shipped Layer-1 5G modem software at Qualcomm—owning multiple core modules, mentoring teams, and contributing a patent-pending paging collision handling design—and later integrated vehicle, fuel-cell, and battery controls in fast-moving startup environments. Comfortable across C, Simulink/Matlab, HIL testing, and ECU diagnostics (UDS/SAE J1939), he blends low-level bring-up experience with release automation and tooling ownership. An early open-source contributor to the OpenWebRX SDR project, he improved APRS gateway handling and configuration clarity, showing a long-standing interest in radio and systems integration. Based in Woodridge, IL, he’s equally effective in large organizations and scrappy startups, with a track record of mentoring junior engineers and improving development processes.

Contributions summary:Ed primarily contributed to the APRS iGate functionality within the OpenWebRX project. Their work involved modifying the `owrx/kiss.py` file to format and log APRS PBEACON strings for transmission. This included correcting key checks, adding and refining logic for comment sanitization and height conversions within the PBEACON string generation. The user also updated the default configuration file (`config_webrx.py`) by adding comments and examples for easier configuration of the APRS gateway settings.
