Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Everett is a founder and consultant based in Boulder, Colorado with over a decade of hands-on experience in low-cost precision GNSS, embedded systems, control theory, and signal processing. He founded RTK Consultants LLC to apply RTKLIB and u‑blox receivers toward practical RTK/GNSS solutions and contributes upstream improvements to RTKLIB focused on Galileo and low-cost receiver support. Earlier roles at HGST, Seagate, Maxtor and Quantum reflect deep expertise in servo systems, self-servowrite technologies, and precision positioning algorithms for storage and mechatronic systems. He pairs strong software skills (C++, Python, Matlab) and neural-network/image-processing know-how with systems integration experience to solve applied sensing and control problems. Notably, his open-source work on RTKLIB demonstrates an unusual blend of academic control‑systems rigor and pragmatic firmware-level GNSS engineering. He holds a BSEE from Cornell and an MSEE in Control Systems from Cal Poly, underscoring a career that bridges research, product development, and consulting.
