Scott Lahteine is a veteran lead software developer with over four decades of hands-on coding experience and 13 years in professional roles, currently maintaining and steering the widely used open-source Marlin Firmware for RepRap 3D printers. He blends low-level embedded systems expertise (STM32, Arduino, firmware, pin/config management) with desktop, mobile and web development across C/C++, Objective-C, C#, JavaScript and Unity3D, and also ships OS X and iOS apps and mid-sized Drupal sites. Beyond code, Scott is a practiced designer, musician and creative coder who builds interactive simulations, games, and maker hardware—he built his own 3D printer, contributes to Marlin and Marlin documentation, and posts designs to Thingiverse. Comfortable acting as hands-on developer, maintainer, technical writer and community liaison, he focuses on improving user experience and streamlining toolchains like the Auto Build Marlin Electron app. Scott’s work repeatedly sits at the intersection of art, sound and systems, with a persistent curiosity for revealing hidden patterns through interactive projects.
