Senior🎓
Top SchoolKent Olsen is a founder and senior embedded software engineer with 13 years of experience turning stalled hardware and sensor projects into deliverable systems. He specializes in C/C++ for embedded Linux, distributed systems (ZMQ + Protobuf), time-series/datastore integrations and containerized workflows, and has led tech-roadmap, mentoring and test automation efforts at Leica Geosystems. His background spans GNSS, LiDAR, radar and UWB sensor stacks, kinematics for autonomous construction machinery, and pragmatic migrations from monoliths to service-like architectures. Kent combines academic robotics training (MSc) with hands-on low-level work—from device drivers and Littlefs to embedded web servers—plus cloud and backend experience in Azure, C# and microservices. Notably, he holds a patent related to ground-penetrating radar milling applications and routinely bridges research, prototyping and production delivery for complex sensing products.
