Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Hu is a Principal Software Engineer in Redmond with over two decades of deep embedded firmware and systems experience and a current focus on cloud hardware infrastructure at Microsoft. He has shipped low-level drivers, real-time systems, and signal-processing features across consumer devices (Microsoft Band), industrial sorters (MineSense SortOre™), and telecom media servers, blending C/C++/ASM expertise with hands-on hardware debug using JTAG, ICE, scopes and logic analyzers. Frank’s breadth spans microcontrollers to ARM Cortex-M4 and FPGA/CPLD work, and he’s implemented protocols from USB and UART to SIP/RTP for both embedded and networking stacks. He brings practical manufacturing and failure-analysis experience (tools in C#) and built a 1 ms hard realtime FreeRTOS system for high-value mining equipment. Frank also contributes to open-source front-end performance improvements (e.g., OI-wiki), showing an uncommon mix of low-level firmware craft and user-facing optimization. Based in the Seattle area, he pairs deep technical ownership with a proven record of taking complex hardware-software products from board bring-up to production.
