Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Beattie is an MIT-trained software and electrical engineer who blends embedded systems, robotics, and full-stack product work across academia and industry. He has built production systems from BLE firmware controlling 30 Sphero robots to a scaled React/TypeScript payments platform (Prepsheets) that saved a client €100,000 and raised €50,000 in funding. His research at CSAIL spans real-time multi-robot localization, multithreaded swarm models, and low-level Linux Bluetooth bindings, while internships delivered practical IoT, cloud, and firmware products that cut test runtimes and improved observability. A prolific tinkerer and educator, he also builds conservation tools and teaches coding to youth, combining rigorous MEng studies with unusual early-university achievements from Ireland.
