Summary
Richard Lowe is a seasoned embedded systems and software engineering leader with over a decade of experience designing firmware, device drivers, and clinician-facing applications for medical and security hardware. He has led firmware teams, built the world’s first physical second-factor security system using FIDO devices, and is an expert in RTOS-based development across many MCU families. Currently shaping the next generation of engineers as a computer science teacher, he brings hands-on experience in C/C++, Python, JavaScript, and mobile/cloud integrations to the classroom. Richard pairs product-focused engineering with manufacturing-aware verification and test practices, ensuring code meets rigorous standards from prototype to production. Based in Coos Bay, OR, he balances academic roles and industry leadership, and—true to his GitHub quip—remains a fan of “free-flowing electrons” under the hood.
