Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrank Weiss is a multidisciplinary hardware and software engineer with 14+ years building embedded systems, IoT, and robotics, combining deep C/C++ firmware skills with practical electronics and PCB experience. Based in San Francisco, he’s delivered prototypes and product-ready designs across HP Labs, consumer IoT, and BLE/low-power devices, and champions test-driven development to keep firmware maintainable and reliable. He’s comfortable spanning the stack—from digital circuit design and signal-processing proofs of concept (e.g., an energy-spectrum approach to phone shake detection) to cloud-connected motor control for home automation. His work emphasizes pragmatic modeling—simplifying representations like topological maps to solve real problems—and he frequently validates designs with hands-on measurement (logic analyzers, power profiling) and custom test fixtures. Active on GitHub, he publishes embedded projects (ESP8266/ESP32 and robotics) that demonstrate his focus on real-world interaction and long-lived, well-tested code.
