Kazu Terasaki is a versatile embedded systems engineer with nine years of experience designing low-power, resource-constrained hardware and firmware for battery-powered devices. He specializes in ARM Cortex-M platforms, FreeRTOS and bare-metal development, secure bootloaders, FOTA, and cryptographic stacks including AES, ECC, ECDH/ECDSA, and JavaCard/JCOP-based smartcard interfaces. Comfortable across schematic/PCB design, firmware drivers (UART/SPI/I2C), and 3D CAD/printing, he ships end-to-end prototypes that bridge physical and digital systems. Based in San Jose, he brings a maker’s mindset—five consecutive Maker Faire Bay Area awards—and a taste for “PachiMon” proof-of-concept projects that explore unusual, pragmatic solutions. He excels at squeezing robust functionality into tight memory and power budgets while maintaining practical security and field-upgradeability.
