Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoshua Yan is an embedded systems engineer with six years of experience blending low-level C expertise, hardware debugging, and applied mathematics to deliver robust IoT and real-time solutions. A Digipen-trained computer engineer, he is fluent in bare-metal programming, RTOS development, kernel modules, and protocols from UART to BLE, and comfortable across MCUs and SoCs including Zynq UltraScale+ and STM32. His work on Amazon FreeRTOS integrations—submoduling Mbed TLS, resolving cross-vendor compatibility, and adding CBMC OTA proofs—shows a focus on secure, portable embedded software for diverse hardware platforms. Joshua pairs practical hardware skills (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, sensors) with algorithmic strengths in DSP, numerical analysis, and control systems to solve signal and timing-critical problems. He gravitates toward projects that require both meticulous low-level engineering and mathematical insight, making him effective at bridging prototype hardware to production-grade firmware.
