I connect physical devices to the cloud, at scale.

What is IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices. Embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity, and other forms of hardware (such as sensors), these devices can communicate and interact with others over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.

IoT represents the technologies behind [electronic] devices connected to the internet.

A few examples:

• Connected machinery in factories
• Smart city lighting
• Smart home appliances
• Online package tracking
• Smart cars
• Connected sensors on power grids

Tools of the trade

A large variety of tools and programming languages are involved in this process. I try as much as I can to pick the most appropriate tool for the job.

• Go or TypeScript for backend development
• Serverless (CDK) and Containers (Docker) for backend microservices
• React (or sometimes Angular) on the frontend
• AWS for deployment and CI/CD (with GitLab)
• Python for scripting, DSP prototyping and algorithm design
• Dart/Flutter for mobile application development
• C for firmware programming
• Bash when shell scripts are needed
• Altium (or Eagle) for Printed Circuit Board design

A long list of frameworks, SDKs, vendor IPs and hardware is used along the way. More information in the Skills section. The Projects page gives a deeper overview of the kind of work I usually do.
