Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Bramley is a seasoned Field Application and Test Engineer with 13 years’ experience designing and debugging embedded electronics, BSPs and device drivers, and a deep practical background in C and real-time systems. He has driven connectivity and security projects across the IoT and wireless stack—from Bluetooth qualification and satellite/cellular datalinks for UAVs to quantum-driven device identity at Crypto Quantique. Equally comfortable on hardware CAD and analogue design as he is fixing build and WebSocket quirks in open-source C projects like CivetWeb and Eclipse Paho, he blends hands-on engineering with customer-facing consultancy. Known for translating complex lower-level issues into producible solutions, he communicates effectively from shop floor to boardroom and often steps into cross-disciplinary roles during product bring-up and qualification.
