Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJan Gałda is a Senior Software Test Developer and DevOps Engineer based in Krakow with six years of experience building reliable firmware and CI/tooling for embedded and IoT ecosystems. At Nordic Semiconductor he focuses on Zigbee and nRF Connect SDK integrations, improving OTA/DFU workflows and adapting toolchains for modern Python and Zephyr tool changes. His background blends hands-on embedded development, test automation and DevOps from roles at IBM, SMT and Nokia, giving him a pragmatic view of quality across the stack. Notably, he has contributed upstream to widely used projects like pc-nrfutil and the nRF Connect SDK—porting Zigbee OTA tools to Python 3 and adding multiprotocol support for nRF53. He brings a hardware-aware software mindset from an electronics and telecommunications degree at AGH, able to translate low-level constraints into repeatable delivery pipelines. Colleagues rely on him to tame complex firmware delivery problems with clear documentation and toolchain fixes that stick.
