Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNoel Eck is a Senior Software Developer based in Portland, Oregon with 10 years of experience bridging software, firmware, and hardware for products from IoT sensors to Intel CPU trace tooling. As a technical lead at Intel he architects low-level hardware configuration and streaming trace solutions used for design, debug, and validation. His background includes embedded driver development and contributions to well-known open-source projects like Eclipse UPM and MRAA, where he added sensor drivers, fixed memory leaks, and improved USB/FTDI platform support and test coverage. Comfortable moving between C/C++ low-level systems and higher-level IoT stacks, he brings a practical product-commercialization mindset honed at both Intel and Memsense. An engineer who pairs hands-on debugging at the silicon-software boundary with team leadership, he’s especially skilled at turning complex hardware trace requirements into maintainable software.
