Conceptualized, designed, and implemented a greenfield project acting as a stand-in for two legacy systems for small installations (under 250 lamps), providing enhanced user control of small-system lamps.Solely developed firmware for a new BLE-enabled product line using a 2.4GHz focused microcontroller. Integrated OTA updates, bootloader capabilities, and BLE communication for user control via mobile apps. Foundational work in schematic capture, component selection, and hardware/firmware design.Cross-functional Team Leadership: Managed a contract team responsible for mobile app (iOS/Android) and backend/frontend development, ensuring integration with the BLE-enabled system via a Django backend and Shopify-based marketing website and ecommerce website.Led Firmware Development for legacy system(s): Managed a 4 layer star topology system comprising a Linux gateway with attached 1-1 Controller firmware, 2nd tier firmware, and final product firmware supporting multiple product variants (e.g., E27 base bulbs, AC plug linear lamps). Reduced time synchronization across 1000+ end nodes by over half, improving system efficiency and KPIs leading to greater biological effectiveness.Enhanced a Python-based application running on a Linux embedded system, which communicated with STM32 ARM firmware over UART. Maintained a TUI for SSH-based system interaction and automated backend log and status pushing via SFTP.Firmware Communication Systems: Maintained multi-layered communications among real-time devices, improving communications via UART and 915MHz radio.Compiler Migration: Spearheaded migration from proprietary compiler to ARM GNU GCC, allowing for increased toolchain capabilities including automated build and test, static analysis, improved code size optimization, etc.Legacy System Ownership: Took full responsibility for maintaining and enhancing the legacy system after the departure of other firmware engineers.
