Summary
Manish Devana is a firmware and embedded systems engineer with 8 years of experience blending oceanographic research and sensor-driven product development to reduce emissions, energy, and water use. With a PhD in physical oceanography from the University of Miami and roles spanning postdoctoral research at WHOI to technical lead positions at Aquatic Labs, he converts complex environmental science into robust solid-state sensor firmware and system designs. Currently building firmware at Apeiron Labs, he brings deep expertise in in-situ sensing, signal processing, and low-power embedded architectures informed by years of field deployments. Not obvious from titles: his background in fine-scale oceanographic analysis gives him a rare ability to translate messy physical measurements into precise firmware requirements and calibration routines. Based in Miami, he thrives at the intersection of academic rigor and product engineering, shipping devices that make environmental data actionable.
