Summary
Martin Woolley is an independent consultant and seasoned developer relations specialist with over 30 years in software development and 14 years of focused industry experience in Bluetooth and IoT ecosystems. Formerly a key technical voice at the Bluetooth SIG, he authored much of the developer-facing documentation and papers that accompanied major spec releases and helped design the BBC micro:bit Bluetooth profile. A frequent international speaker, Martin translates complex technical topics—mesh, direction finding, Web Bluetooth and embedded systems—into practical guidance without dumbing them down.
