Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Barch is a Senior IoT Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building scalable, edge-to-cloud systems that power robotics, telematics, and distributed sensor fleets. He has repeatedly architected resilient IoT pipelines, fleet management tools, and low-latency teleoperation interfaces—reducing deployment and diagnostic times from days to minutes while supporting thousands of devices in production. Comfortable across embedded firmware, backend microservices, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure, he blends practical controls engineering (STM32, BLE, Raspberry Pi) with modern backend stacks (TypeScript, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis). At Formant and RoBotany he improved operator workflows and customer retention by enabling remote telemetry and control, and he leverages LLM tools for rapid prototyping without sacrificing quality. Based in Michigan, Eric pairs entrepreneurial experience from co-founding hardware startups with a pragmatic focus on decentralization, networking/security, and cost-conscious cloud architecture.
