LeanUp is basically the core team of folks I like to build stuff with. Half think-tank, half R&D. We selectively take on projects both internal and external and spin out prototypes, products, and often businesses.We take product ideas from napkin sketches to pitches and further.Primary role doing electronics design, board layout, firmware, and testing. Bluetooth and USB connected devices for collecting sensor data and doing embedded controls. Embedded applications using Zephyr RTOS and C. Soft real-time control using Linux, C, and Erlang. Data analysis and data management work using Python, Rust, and C.

Providing technologies for the automation and improved performance of liquid-liquid chromatography instrumentation.Board design, embedded firmware, custom sensor development, and soft real-time control system using Embedded Linux.A LeanUp project
