Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Spörk is a founder and Bluetooth Low Energy specialist with a decade of experience turning flaky wireless prototypes into reliable field-ready systems. As Co-Founder & CEO of DEWINE Labs and a freelance BLE consultant, he helps startups and industrial customers replace wired links with high-performance Bluetooth solutions that work in harsh, crowded environments. His work on Contiki-NG added IPv6-over-BLE support for TI CC26XX controllers, reflecting deep embedded and protocol-level expertise beyond typical application-level Bluetooth work. Michael combines academic rigor—teaching and researching BLE reliability and real-time behavior at Graz University of Technology—with hands-on R&D experience building industrial embedded systems. He holds progressive degrees in computer engineering up through PhD-level studies and has supervised multiple master’s projects, bridging research and productization. Based in Graz, Austria, he’s known for diagnosing real-world wireless failure modes that never appear in the lab and turning those insights into robust products.
