Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrantisek Burian is a hardware-focused developer and embedded systems engineer with 13 years of experience building low-level firmware, robotics platforms and testbed automation. He has a deep C/C++, C#, Qt and ARM assembly skill set, proven by substantial contributions to the widely used libopencm3 project and work on the Blackmagic ARM debugger. His career spans academia and industry—from PhD-level research and assistant professorship leading robotics projects like MORPHEUS and ORPHEUS to hands-on system design for LTR and CEITEC—combining research rigor with practical product delivery. Comfortable across GNU/Linux toolchains and microcontroller peripherals, he has repeatedly ported drivers, fixed critical register/flash issues and expanded example suites for STM32 families. Frantisek is transitioning from academia to industry and is available for full-time roles from August 2024, offering both low-level hardware expertise and experience mentoring cross-disciplinary teams.
