Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJon Slobodzian is a Principal Software Engineer Lead at Microsoft with over two decades of experience building embedded and medical device software, now guiding a small team focused on IoT shell and device connectivity. He combines deep low-level expertise—drivers, WinCE/Windows Embedded systems and hardware integration—with modern cloud and edge work such as Windows 10 IoT and Azure Linux maintenance. Jon has a track record of solving thorny integration problems (SoftAP onboarding, BLE race conditions, NFC provisioning, AllJoyn enterprise management) and contributing to notable Microsoft open-source repos like Windows-iotcore-samples and azurelinux. He mentors world-class developers while still shipping hands-on fixes and dependency updates, demonstrating both leadership and craftsmanship. Based in Wesley Chapel, Florida, he brings a pragmatic engineering approach shaped by decades in regulated medical-product environments. A less obvious strength is his ability to bridge firmware, drivers and cloud/edge tooling—making him effective at end-to-end IoT product delivery.
