Ryan T.
Electronics Engineering | IoT Wireless Product Developer | FW & HW
Electrical engineer with 19 years of experience designing embedded systems and IoT devices from concept to production. I specialize in wireless connectivity — WiFi, BLE, Zigbee, Thread, and LoRa — and have hands-on experience across the full stack: hardware architecture, PCB design, firmware development (C, C++, Python), and cloud integration. My recent work has been heavily firmware-focused, with deep hands-on experience developing and optimizing embedded software for connected devices. That said, my background spans front-end circuit design, system architecture, and bring-up/testing, so I can take a project from napkin sketch to working prototype without handing off to multiple engineers. I'm comfortable navigating complex technical constraints and communicating clearly with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders. If you need someone who can own an embedded or IoT project end-to-end — whether that's a new product design, a wireless integration challenge, or a firmware deep-dive — I'd love to hear about what you're building.
