Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Sergeev is a generalist engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience building systems at the intersection of hardware and software, particularly in communications, networking, and embedded systems. Comfortable from low-level C and Assembly firmware to C++11 systems code and Python/Lua scripting, he excels at fast ground-up prototypes—specs, parts, schematics, PCB layout, assembly, firmware, host software and documentation. He has practical FPGA and DSP exposure from roles at DRW and Nuand, and maintains notable open-source peripheral I/O libraries (python-periphery, c-periphery) used for Linux hardware access. Meticulous about version control and automation, he pairs engineering rigor with an aspiring voice for technical and non-technical writing. Based in Illinois, he blends academic training from MIT with consulting and product work, often surfacing subtle improvements in usability and reliability that make embedded systems more maintainable.

vsergeev/python-periphery
Jun 2015 - Feb 2021
A pure Python 2/3 library for peripheral I/O (GPIO, LED, PWM, SPI, I2C, MMIO, Serial) in Linux.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:11 releases, 207 commits, 15 PRs in 5 years 9 months
Contributions summary:Ivan primarily contributed to the `python-periphery` library, focused on adding functionality for peripheral I/O in Linux. Their contributions included adding context manager support to several modules such as serial, SPI, GPIO, I2C, and MMIO, improving code usability and resource management. Further improvements included making constants, getters/setters, and ctypes classes private within the SPI and serial modules, improving code maintainability. The user also made various improvements to documentation and example usage across multiple modules and files.
