Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaximilian Deubel is an R&D engineer with four years' experience specializing in embedded systems and IoT, currently helping Nordic Semiconductor customers prototype and validate cellular solutions. He blends hands-on driver and board support work—contributing to high-profile projects like the Zephyr RTOS and the nRF Connect SDK—with practical SDK testing by emulating customer use cases. His contributions include sensor driver integration (INA3221, BMM350), accelerometer-based activity and impact detection (ADXL372), and cloud codec improvements, showing strength in low-level hardware integration and reliable data pipelines. Based in Trondheim, he pairs a strong academic background (MSc in Computer Science, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität) with industrial experience at Nordic and earlier software roles in Germany. Notably, he focuses on making developer-facing SDKs resilient by exercising them under realistic conditions—improving both product quality and customer experience. His skill set spans device trees, board support, peripheral configuration, and embedded cloud connectivity.

nRF Connect SDK main repository
Role in this project:
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:546 reviews, 46 commits, 139 PRs in 6 months
Contributions summary:Maximilian primarily contributed to the nRF Connect SDK main repository, focusing on the asset tracker v2 application. Their work involved implementing and refining sensor data processing, particularly for accelerometers to detect both activity and inactivity, and included new functionality such as impact detection using the ADXL372 accelerometer. The user also performed cloud codec improvements by decoupling the nrf cloud codec from json_common and fixed various reported issues, including fixing issues in CoAP downloads, and added support for a new Thingy91x board revision.
