Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLucian Copat is an embedded software engineer and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience making wireless protocols run reliably on highly constrained hardware. He has driven production-grade firmware and Linux drivers across medical, automotive, and consumer products, and was an early contributor who helped bring Qorvo's platform into the Matter open-source project used by customers like IKEA. Lucian built a full HomeKit HAP stack on a Cortex‑M0+—including optimized ASM cryptographic routines—and designed a polymorphic OTA architecture that unified updates for Matter, Zigbee and BLE. He led IEC 62304-compliant medical software delivery for a 28-person team and has advised or delivered connectivity projects for brands like Bang & Olufsen, Volvo Trucks and TE Connectivity. Now based in Bucharest, he’s channeling his connectivity and eSIM expertise into a new venture and remains open to embedded roles, consulting, and partnerships in travel tech and mobile connectivity.
