Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Hillyard is a senior software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building real-time sensing, tracking, and embedded systems across startups, academia, and national labs. He blends deep signal-processing and algorithms expertise (PhD-level) with practical C/C++ and Python engineering to deliver production features like multi-object tracking, RF- and ultrasound-based occupancy and bolus-detection, and high-throughput visualization of GB-scale sensor data. Peter has led software teams and built full stacks—device drivers and mesh protocols on constrained hardware, gRPC/Kafka streaming from edge to cloud, and FastAPI/Postgres backends for remote updates and user management. He repeatedly converts research prototypes into reliable products (e.g., novel RF/CIR-based respiratory monitoring and person-localization systems) and optimizes performance on embedded platforms. Based in Salt Lake City, he prioritizes clear tooling and CI/CD to keep complex sensor pipelines maintainable and deployable. Colleagues describe him as detail-focused, a fast learner, and someone who surfaces non-obvious algorithmic improvements that enable new product capabilities.
