Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSeon Rozenblum is an electronics design and manufacturing engineer, maker, and YouTuber based in Melbourne with eight years of professional hardware and firmware experience and a decade-plus background in independent game development. He designs, builds, documents, and sells open-source ESP32/Arduino-based hardware while contributing low-level board support and bootloader integrations to major projects like Arduino-ESP32, MicroPython, CircuitPython and Adafruit's TinyUF2. Known as the Unexpected Maker online, he bridges hardware and software—working in C/C++ and Python for microcontrollers—while also having published over 26 Unity games since 2006. His work often involves adapting core runtimes to new boards (including TinyPICO, S3-series and UM Feather variants), reflecting a practical expertise in pin mappings, peripheral support and non-destructive UF2 bootloading.
