Summary
Ryan Printup is an embedded software engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience bridging low-level firmware and system design, currently focused on microcontroller-based bootloaders and CI/CD for embedded projects at Fender. Trained in electrical engineering and self-taught in software since age 12, he has shipped real-time firmware across STM32, XMC, PIC32, Coldfire, and Zynq platforms and worked with an array of protocols from EtherCAT to SPI and USB. At Advanced Energy he led firmware for semiconductor-grade power amplifiers and built desktop and field tools using modern .NET and C# stacks, demonstrating fluency across hardware-adjacent desktop and embedded domains. He’s comfortable leading multi-office engineering practices, visiting customer sites to resolve prototypes, and turning research into production-ready solutions. Outside of work he composes music as a longtime guitarist and refines recipes as an avid home cook—interests that mirror his iterative approach to engineering.
