Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Suggate is a multidisciplinary researcher, engineer, and consultant with a decade of hands-on experience spanning embedded systems, wireless communications, digital hardware design, and full-stack software development across C/C++, Rust, TypeScript, Python and functional languages. Based in Dunedin, New Zealand, he blends R&D rigor from a Distinction MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with practical DevOps and cloud experience (AWS, GCP, containers) to deliver solutions from bare-metal firmware to scalable web services. His work covers sensor and imaging systems, satellite and radio-astronomy communications, LPWA/mesh IoT deployments, and numerical PDE solvers—often combining applied mathematics with custom hardware and EDA toolchains. As a self-employed consultant since 2020, he repeatedly turns cross-domain complexity into deployable prototypes, and his background hints at an uncommon fluency bridging RF systems, digital design (VHDL/Verilog) and modern software stacks.
