Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRajeev Piyare is a founder and lead wireless systems engineer with a decade of experience designing energy-efficient, battery-autonomous IoT devices and protocols, currently building kernel-like in-grain sensing platforms at Amber Agriculture. He combines deep embedded firmware skills (C/C++, Zephyr/Contiki/TI-RTOS, nRF and STM32 families) with hands-on hardware bring-up, OTA update systems, and BLE-based diagnostic apps that improved fleet performance by 25%. His research pedigree includes open-source tools for wake-up radio networks and LPWANs developed during PhD and visiting work at FBK and ETH Zurich, bridging academic modeling and real-world testbeds. Rajeev’s work repeatedly focuses on reducing latency and power—achieving protocol-level gains (25% reliability, 15% power savings) while integrating diverse sensors under tight timing and energy budgets. Based in Chicago, he runs Conexio Technologies and brings a rare blend of published research, open-source contributions, and productionized firmware for constrained wireless systems.
