Justin Schneck is a founder and embedded-systems architect with 12 years building IoT and robotics products, currently serving as Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Peridio. He specializes in making hardware approachable through software—co-creating the Nerves framework and contributing to core Elixir and Phoenix projects to streamline releases and deployment workflows. His work spans low-level embedded firmware to release orchestration and fleet management features like OTA updates and real-time monitoring, reflecting a product-first engineering mindset. Justin’s background includes leading hardware engineering at Le Tote and consulting through Very, where he applied Nerves in commercial settings to solve tricky real-world integration problems. He combines a tinkerer’s curiosity (he once rewired a motorcycle to start from his phone) with production-grade experience modernizing embedded development and deployment.
