Top SchoolMike O'driscoll is a pragmatic Member of Technical Staff with 13 years of experience building embedded systems, networking stacks, and cloud-native backend services. He has delivered end-to-end solutions from STM32 microcontroller firmware and ROS-based robotics platforms to large-scale sensor fleets and AWS deployments, blending C/C++, Python, and Go. At Clearpath and Arctic Wolf he improved observability, unified build images across platforms, and brought up multiple hardware and virtual targets, while at Dejero he focused on network blending and low-level wireless configuration. An active contributor to the popular rosserial project, he has hands-on IoT and ROS expertise that complements his work on fleet telemetry, Prometheus-based monitoring, and Suricata tuning. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Mike pairs deep systems debugging (tcpdump/Wireshark, driver-level fixes) with pragmatic automation (Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation) to shorten time-to-resolution in production environments.
