Peter Wright is a seasoned embedded software engineer with 13+ years of experience spanning security-focused MCU firmware, telecom protocol stacks, and AAA game systems. He has led MCU32 application security at Microchip—shaping hardware/software security architecture, authoring secure firmware specs, and building production reference libraries—while earlier roles include release management where he automated and enforced software process across the Atlassian toolchain. His background uniquely blends low-level protocol design (CDMA, DNP3, TCP/IP/TLS) with systems optimization for game consoles and live-service commerce, and he has hands-on experience building distributed test infrastructures and RF test hardware. Now transitioning back toward game development while at Sophos, he combines practical security engineering with a knack for turning undocumented processes into automated, auditable workflows.
