Summary
Jack Swayze is a senior IoT and embedded systems engineer with a decade of experience building resilient, low-power device fleets and end-to-end solutions for smart cities, energy efficiency, and autonomous surveillance. He combines deep firmware expertise in C/C++ across ESP32, Raspberry Pi and Linux-based platforms with real-time video streaming, onboard AI inference (Coral, Jetson), and long-range mesh networking like LoRaWAN and Wi‑Fi Mesh. Comfortable from chip to UX, Jack also ships cloud integrations (Azure IoT Hub, MQTT, OTA) and has led cross-functional teams to move prototypes into rugged production deployments. His background spans municipal IoT architecture, commercial building automation, and energy-reduction projects—often reinventing systems with creative hardware prototypes and unconventional use of platforms like Helium for long-range sensing. Based in Asheville, NC, he pairs pragmatic product delivery with a persistent curiosity for new edge technologies and full‑stack JavaScript solutions.
