Javier Cardona is a wireless-focused software engineer and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience designing embedded networking and mesh technologies and bringing them to market. He founded consulting and product companies (cozybit, okio) and launched open80211s, helping major platforms like Google, Samsung and Qualcomm integrate mesh networking into Linux. At Facebook he led development of novel access technologies (Soma, Terragraph) to extend internet connectivity in challenging environments, and he holds patents in wireless location and peer-to-peer communications. A Stanford executive program alum with an MSEE and embedded systems background, he blends deep technical craftsmanship with business savvy and board-level advising. Based in Bordeaux, he now serves on boards and as a strategic advisor while returning to hands-on engineering at Meta.
