Nicolas Besson is an IoT advisor and technical director with over 20 years of embedded-systems experience and a decade of focused IoT architecture work, blending hands-on firmware engineering with product and team leadership. He designs secure, scalable edge-to-cloud solutions—having led projects from smart lockers and connected EV charging stations to city-scale digital signage—while acting as a de facto CTO for startups to align mechanical, electronic and software choices. Comfortable with low-level firmware (BLE, Wi‑Fi, BSPs) and cloud stacks (MQTT, CoAP, Azure/AWS), he translates customer needs into pragmatic architectures and drives delivery. Known for knowledge sharing and training, he also co-wrote a Microsoft certification book early in his career and has international experience managing embedded teams in the US and Europe. Based in Lyon, he combines deep technical credibility with product ownership to turn complex IoT visions into operational products.
