Luc Bouchard is a Platform Firmware Engineer with 11 years of experience building embedded systems and full-stack tools from CubeSats to autonomous sailboats and satellite phased arrays. Based in San Francisco, he combines deep firmware expertise in C/C++/Rust and FreeRTOS with strong applied math, statistics, and data-science chops from graduate research in optical communications. He has reduced boot times on mission-critical systems, implemented state estimation and battery management algorithms for grid-scale energy and marine autonomy, and contributed to the JupyterLab Desktop Electron app—bringing real-world embedded constraints into widely used open-source tooling. Comfortable across hardware, firmware, cloud, and UI layers, Luc is skilled at turning complex control and estimation problems into robust, production-ready software.
