Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Prestwood is a Staff Robotics Software Engineer based in Bend, Oregon, with a decade of experience building embedded Linux and WiFi systems for robotics and IoT. He has driven low-level wireless and embedded software at companies including Locus Robotics, Intel (working on Zephy.js and iNet Wireless Daemon/IWD), and Qualcomm, where he ported AllJoyn and authored an open-source SPI-based WiFi driver for MCUs. Comfortable across C/C++ and JavaScript on constrained platforms, he bridges firmware, user-space Linux daemons, and higher-level integrations to deliver reliable connectivity in real-world devices. His background includes hands-on platform ports (Arduino DUE, Freescale K64, STM32) and enabling JavaScript on microcontrollers, a combination that helps teams move rapidly from prototype to production. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions to tricky wireless and embedded problems that often sit between hardware and OS.
