Summary
Nicolas Montoya is a hardware engineer, entrepreneur, and partner based in Austin with nine years of experience turning complex electromechanical and embedded challenges into production-ready products. He has led hardware- and firmware-centric teams as CTO and founder, shipping UV-C disinfection systems, custom IoT devices, PCBs, and automation solutions while managing manufacturing and DevOps. Nicolas bridges hands-on design (SolidWorks, PCB layout, embedded firmware) with systems thinking from robotics and autonomy work at Sandia and university research. He also applies engineering to practical sustainability: helping rural small businesses cut operating costs through commercial solar and renewable integrations. Comfortable moving between research-grade robotics and startup productization, he’s known for taking under-constrained problems to manufacturable solutions.
