Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPawel Jalocha is a software development consultant and embedded systems specialist with 11+ years of professional experience and a multi-decade background in experimental physics, radio communications, and astronomy. He designs low-power embedded firmware, SDR demodulators, and real-time DSP pipelines for aviation and glider tracking systems, and founded the Open Glider Network with Raspberry Pi/SDR-based receivers. His career spans high-energy physics detector development at CERN and Oxford—where he worked on silicon pixel/strip detectors, real-time track reconstruction and DAQ—and practical control systems for synchrotron beamlines. Pawel combines deep algorithmic skills (FEC, MFSK/Olivia, adaptive noise filtering) with hands-on hardware experience (ARM7, AVR, DSP56000, FPGA, RF front-ends). He routinely delivers end-to-end solutions from antenna and analog front-end design through embedded RTOS and Linux deployments. An unexpected strength is his track record of turning cutting-edge physics instrumentation techniques into robust, low-power fielded radio and tracking systems.
