Looking back, my work has spanned handheld IoT systems, backend automation, and DevOps — long before those terms became buzzwords. I’ve contributed directly to open source projects like the GNU toolchain, OpenOCD, and OpenEmbedded, and have been committed to open source for over 25 years. I prefer building tools and platforms that can be shared — but also know when pragmatism matters more than purity.

I don’t just write code. I solve problems with robust system designs that handle edge cases, deliver longevity, and ensure maintainability. My work reflects my strong tendency to prefer engineering over programming: solid tools, clear documentation, deterministic behavior, and measurable reliability.

I am looking for a staff-to-founder level role architecting and building a new embedded platform, ideally involving robotics, drones, 3D printing, or other articulated/mechatronic systems. More broadly, I am interested in early-stage products with real-world interfaces and low-level complexity.

Conversely, I’m not interested in JavaScript/Java/PHP/Ruby, Microsoft products or platforms, cloud-centric/"X-as-a-Service" infrastructure, fintech/crypto, "Web3", multinational corporations or government work.
