Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranklin Palmer is a Senior IoT Engineer in New York with a decade of experience designing large distributed systems for real-time monitoring and bi-directional control of always-on device fleets. He has scaled infrastructure from a few hundred city-bound devices to managing over 20,000 units across the East Coast, with deep expertise in the “glue layers” where data and organizational boundaries meet. His background spans embedded hardware, PCB design, BLE integration, and cloud-side orchestration—skills honed co-founding a wearable assistive-technology startup and leading engineering at Kelvin. Franklin combines hands-on prototyping and component-level engineering with systems thinking, making him as comfortable debugging a sensor board as architecting fleet-wide telemetry and control pipelines. An empirical designer, he prioritizes iterative validation with real users, a practice rooted in earlier research and SBIR-funded product work for the visually impaired.
