Comfortable from ESP32 firmware to Golang services and AWS-hosted ML, he repeatedly ships hardware-software products at scale (including 15,000+ deployed sensors). Known as a doer with strong initiative and a taste for creative tinkering, he also composes music and hacks electronics in his spare time.
