Eric Ptak is a freelance consultant and engineer based in Lille with over 15 years of R&D experience and nine years in professional roles shaping IoT and distributed systems. He founded WebIOPi, an early, widely adopted Raspberry Pi IoT framework, and later led R&D for Cayenne/IoTinaBox where he drove protocol-level expertise (LoRaWAN, CoAP, MQTT) into production-grade, plug-and-play IoT platforms. He specializes in software and system architecture across cloud, embedded and distributed environments, pairing hands‑on Node.js/Python development with technical advisory, mentoring, and cross-team coordination. Known for turning complex ideas into working systems, he moves projects from prototyping to scalable deployments while aligning technical choices with business needs. An uncommon strength is his blend of telecom/protocol depth and product-facing experience, enabling pragmatic solutions for large-scale IoT rollouts.
