Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJose Parras is a DevOps and Software Test Engineer with six years’ experience building and validating embedded and critical systems across aerospace, IoT, and telecommunications in Madrid. With a strong electronics background (Degree and Master’s) he combines low-level C/C++ firmware work—FreeRTOS/Zephyr and STM32/ESP32 platforms—with CI/CD automation, testing and tooling using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Python and Groovy. He contributed to micro-ROS and Fast-DDS projects, simplifying cross-builds and transport support for constrained devices, and has hands-on experience in code generation for safety-critical workflows. Comfortable across Linux environments and multiple languages, he brings a systems-level view that links hardware prototypes to production pipelines. Outside work he pursues Rust and electronic music projects, signaling a practical curiosity that often drives creative integrations between software and sound.

Contributions summary:Jose's primary contributions focused on configuring and building firmware for micro-ROS-based embedded systems. This involved modifying build scripts, particularly for FreeRTOS and Zephyr, to support different transports (UDP, serial, serial-usb) and hardware platforms (e.g., ESP32, STM32). They addressed dependency issues, integrated specific libraries, and streamlined the build process for the micro-ROS agent, including improving the build script and fixing workspace creation for ESP32.
