Summary
Kevin Clapperton is a software and embedded firmware developer based in Montreal with nine years of hands-on experience building sensor-driven systems, firmware for microcontrollers, and cross-platform applications. He excels in C/C++ embedded development, ESP32/SoC evaluation, and automation with Python, and also builds mobile apps in Kotlin and desktop GUIs for data analysis and cryptography. At Hypertronic he has bridged firmware, tooling, and user-facing software—authoring automated test applications, D-Bus APIs, UART/MQTT integrations, and a Python-based UART detector that sped up device debugging. His background in electric racecar systems gave him deep exposure to BMS/TCS firmware and low-level hardware diagnostics, making him comfortable across register-level debugging, timing/thermal validation, and client-facing feature design. Kevin combines pragmatic engineering with a systems view: he not only implements features but builds the developer tools and automation that make reliable embedded products ship faster.
