Overview

I've spent 9 years on embedded systems - first at Snowflake, now at Valemont Financial. Grew the firmware team from 5 to 39 engineers. Built the experimentation framework 9 product teams use to ship changes safely. Most at home with embedded Linux and Bluetooth LE. Travel slowly, usually by train.
