He blends deep embedded firmware expertise—motor control, telemetry and BLE stacks—with cloud-native backend and DevOps work, having contributed the API proxy module to the high-profile Azure/iotedge project. Previously he deployed ML models for Amazon Advertising and designed widely used Bluetooth Low Energy and Greengrass libraries for Amazon FreeRTOS. At Schlumberger he led telemetry and motor-control innovations, patented multiple modulation and telemetry technologies, and architected systems that unlocked major market value. Comfortable moving between low-level C on constrained devices and distributed cloud services, he’s known for turning research prototypes into production-grade, cost-saving platforms. An engineer who bridges hardware and cloud, he brings a rare combination of patent-backed R&D impact and hands-on open-source contributions.
