Summary
Kacper Kowalski is an embedded software engineer based in Berlin with a decade of experience building firmware and IoT systems using C, C++17, CMake, FreeRTOS and Embedded Linux. He has shipped production devices from STM32-based intercoms and NB‑IoT smart meters to ESP32 air-quality rings and Qualcomm-powered consumer products, blending low-level RTOS work with gateway and cloud integration. Comfortable across the stack, he writes robust embedded networking (MQTT, LwM2M, Zigbee) and maintains build systems and CI pipelines to ensure repeatable releases. As an electronics enthusiast he designs and prototypes hardware, and his side projects include open-source firmware and custom audio devices that reflect a creative, hands‑on approach. Now freelancing and contributing to open source, he looks for projects that combine challenging real-time constraints with novel hardware. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture, thorough debugging of hardware-software interactions, and a knack for turning prototypes into manufacturable products.
