Summary
Francisco Costa is an Electronics Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping embedded systems, IoT devices, and industrial gateways across startups and established companies in Portugal. He has led hardware and firmware efforts from schematic and PCB design to cloud-integrated gateways, and has scaled teams as Head of IoT and Head of Electronics while also doing hands-on R&D and production optimization. Comfortable bridging technical presales, quality assurance, and supply-chain challenges (including component substitution during shortages), he focuses on building resilient systems that "don’t scream in production." Based in Lisbon, he gravitates toward hard problems and motivated teams, and brings a hacker's curiosity—often jumping between low-level electronics and system architecture to turn prototypes into maintainable products.
