Summary
Olivier Debon is an embedded systems and cybersecurity expert with over 30 years of hands-on experience spanning microcontroller and Linux development, RF and wired protocols, safety (Sûreté de Fonctionnement) and normative compliance for automotive, rail and medical sectors. He combines deep technical mastery in C/C++, cryptography and embedded toolchains with proven business leadership—building offers, recruiting and running teams, winning bids and delivering complex IoT/IIoT/OT projects as a consultant and manager. Comfortable from schematics to cloud, he has led RAMS and security practices (ISO 26262, ISO 21434, EN50128/62443/IEC62304) and translated regulatory constraints into practical development processes. Known for strong client-facing skills and pragmatic management, Olivier recently returned to freelancing while maintaining a track record in consulting roles at Expleo, Thales and others. A long-time GNU/Linux user since 1993, he brings both old-school low-level craftsmanship and modern cybersecurity rigor to connected-systems challenges.
