Summary
Michael Cieslinski is a computer engineer with over a decade of professional experience and 7+ years focused on C/C++ and embedded systems design. He has led software architecture and development for Army ground vehicle electronics, including Linux-based systems, microcontroller firmware, and FPGA designs for STRYKER platforms. Michael has modernized and optimized backend systems in industry roles—migrating C code to C++20, improving fault-tolerant time-series databases, and enhancing test frameworks. He combines hands-on embedded firmware work (HALs, Ethernet/CAN/I2C stacks) with system integration and team leadership, routinely coordinating cross-discipline engineering and demonstrations. Based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, he brings a pragmatic systems perspective from both government and commercial projects and a track record of turning complex vehicle electronics requirements into field-ready solutions. An attention to tooling and test automation underpins his approach, helping teams move from prototypes to robust deployments.
