About

As a Lead Product Engineer I research, develop and build prototypes in Resource-Constrained Networks for Mission-Critical Applications. I build production instructions, maintain active projects and overall provide insight and consultation about resource-constrained networks. Recently, I started to take more responsibility in business strategy and marketing.
