Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Rupp is a software engineer based in Boston with four years of professional experience building embedded and IoT systems. He currently contributes at Silicon Labs and has a background at Raytheon where he designed radar antenna controls, led an Agile team as Scrum Master, and developed low-level UDP communications and automated firmware test harnesses. His open-source work on the widely adopted Matter (Project CHIP) shows hands-on expertise in EFR32 platform development, OTA update tooling, bootloader image generation, and stabilizing Thread end-device behavior. With a bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from UIUC and early roles mentoring students and revamping lab curricula, he blends hardware-aware firmware skills with practical teaching and process improvements. Notably, he pairs systems-level debugging with build automation to streamline OTA workflows—an asset for teams shipping connected-device firmware.
