Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTim Black is a Senior Embedded Software Engineering Lead based in Portland, Oregon, with a decades-spanning career delivering mission-critical embedded and cloud-native systems across defense, telecom, and professional audio markets. He blends deep low-level expertise (DSP, RTOS, kernel and bootloader work) with modern DevOps and cloud practices, having modernized embedded Linux pipelines, implemented reproducible builds, and built multi-cloud IaC for a cloud-native 5G network. Tim has repeatedly reduced risk and time-to-market by validating hardware/software feasibility early, automating test and update systems, and designing secure, air-gapped infrastructure for DoD workloads. Equally comfortable in firmware and full-stack roles, he brings a rare combination of DSP roots and platform-level cloud engineering that accelerates product delivery while keeping systems auditable and secure.
