Summary
Lukas Yoder is a research engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded hardware and software systems, currently working at the Georgia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta. He combines FPGA/RTL design, Linux kernel and baremetal driver development, and system-level integration to deliver production-ready hardware platforms for real-time testing and sensing. Lukas has led projects from PCB and board bring-up to automated FPGA toolchains, and has a strong background in high-precision optical measurement systems developed at Georgia Tech. He co-founded and scaled a campus makerspace, demonstrating leadership in operations, training, and community-building while managing complex lab equipment. Comfortable with both low-level firmware and higher-level system architectures, he also documents and automates workflows to accelerate team development. For deeper technical work and code, he maintains primary repositories and project write-ups on his personal sites rather than relying solely on GitHub.
