Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick Mann is an experienced software and hardware engineer with 15+ years delivering iOS and macOS apps, embedded firmware, and prototype hardware through his consultancy Latency: Zero, LLC. He has led flagship mobile app development and firmware work at companies like MatterPort and Yahoo!, blending Swift/Obj-C/C++ expertise with embedded C++ and ESP-IDF/Matter stack knowledge. Comfortable across electrical, mechanical, and software domains, he designs networked APIs, industrial automation systems, and digital/analog circuits, and even contributes to hardware design decisions. Based in Burbank, he pursues short-term contracts focused on new projects, rapid application prototypes, and unique engineering challenges. An EE/CS graduate from UC Berkeley, he pairs formal training with hands-on shop skills—he’s an EE, machinist, and pilot in his off hours. That rare mix of consumer app polish and low-level embedded systems experience makes him especially effective on connected-device projects bridging mobile and hardware.
