Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPrzemyslaw Bida is a Senior Software Developer based in Wrocław with over a decade of embedded and systems experience and five years in senior engineering roles. He specializes in embedded IoT and networking stacks, contributing significant upstream work to high-profile open-source projects like Zephyr RTOS and Google's OpenThread—adding features, refactoring drivers, and improving diagnostics for IEEE 802.15.4 and CSL. His industry career spans Nokia (including Bell Labs), Nordic Semiconductor, Luxoft and now Google, where he brings practical experience from device drivers to protocol-level optimizations. Known for pragmatic refactors and attention to reliability, he has fixed subtle issues such as double initializations and timing/clock-accuracy bugs that improve real-world interoperability. He holds engineering degrees in Computer Science and Automation & Robotics from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, combining academic depth with production-grade embedded systems delivery. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on engineer who moves between low-level hardware interfacing and higher-level protocol design with equal fluency.
