Top SchoolJosef Norgan is a freelance embedded engineer in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building connected products, firmware, and hardware-software systems across startups and executive roles. He’s led cross-disciplinary teams and decisions as an executive director and senior manager, bringing together firmware, EE, product design, and cloud integration to ship award-winning IoT products like Casper’s Glow. Comfortable from low-level drivers on nRF52/STM32 to embedded Linux, ESP32 gateways, and AWS/MQTT backends, he excels at turning prototypes into production and creating tooling for fleet management and manufacturing. Known for strong communication and hiring instincts, he pairs scientific rigor (B.S. Physics) with hands-on prototyping skills—CAD, 3D printing, CNC—and a belief that culture drives product success.
