Summary
J Lindsay is a founder and multidisciplinary embedded software engineer with 13 years of professional experience building hardware and firmware systems from prototype to production. Based in Denver, he runs Sapiencia ex Machina, contracting since his teens and delivering everything from wearable motion-capture at Opdig to secure voice systems and cryptographic engineering at CellTrust and Neustar. He excels at modernizing firmware toolchains and processes—rewriting legacy codebases, introducing automated testing and open toolchains, and onboarding new engineers to production velocity within weeks. His work blends low-level C/C++/firmware expertise with systems thinking and applied mathematics, enabling dramatic productivity gains for teams and products. Tall, well-spoken, and polymathic by his own GitHub bio, he pairs hardware intuition with software architecture to solve cross-domain problems.
