Summary
Ian Wraith is an experienced electronics team leader and embedded software engineer with 15+ years building and maintaining hardware-software systems for research, industrial and safety-critical environments. He combines deep low-level expertise (assembly across 6502, 8x51, MSP430 and RISC-V) with high-level development in C/C++, Java, PHP, Python and SQL, and has implemented DSP, modulation/demodulation and error-control algorithms for radio protocols including MPT1327, DMR and APCO25. At the University of Sheffield he has led electronics labs, repaired precision test equipment to component level, and delivered university-wide systems—from asset databases to a GSM-backed toxic gas alarm and lab billing/access control—designing both sensors and server-side integrations. A seasoned reverse-engineer of radio and network protocols, he has commercialised products used by F1 teams, government and healthcare, and continues to bridge web interfaces, Bluetooth-enabled embedded devices and robust backend services. An unconventional strength is his hands-on blend of academic lab support, field-deployable telecom tooling and published technical writing, demonstrating an ability to take projects from circuitry to production.
