Shea Ivey is an experienced full-stack and embedded systems engineer with over a decade designing web applications, IoT devices, and custom firmware from concept to production. As founder of La Forge FPV and Ivey Crest, he has architected open-source FPV hardware and embedded firmware while also running a prototyping shop that handles PCB layout, circuit design, and web development. Shea has shipped enterprise web platforms at companies like Mentor Graphics, ARMUS, and Health Catalyst, bridging cloud-native stacks (AWS, Docker, React/Node) with low-level device work. His GitHub projects — including an Arduino/PCB-based RX5808 diversity basestation and contributions to the Cleanflight configurator — highlight a rare combination of user-facing UI skills and hands-on RF/embedded expertise. Based in Portland, he brings entrepreneurial grit, rapid prototyping discipline, and a knack for making complex hardware feel approachable.
