Summary
Johnathan Bretz is a software engineer with nine years of practical experience and a BS in Computer Engineering from MSOE, currently building production systems at WellHive. He brings low-level systems expertise—C, C++, Rust and VHDL—earned through hands-on academic projects like a CSMA/CD network interface card and a fully automated IoT hydroponics senior design where he wrote both device firmware and server-side software. After graduating he shipped backend systems at Summa Financial Technology and now applies that full-stack discipline to commercial products. An avid retro-hardware tinkerer, he develops Game Boy and GBA emulators in his spare time, blending deep systems knowledge with curiosity about platform internals. Based in Milwaukee, he combines team-based Agile experience with a knack for turning embedded constraints into robust, maintainable code.
