Deako is redefining the way people experience lighting in their home. Our premium, effortless modular smart lighting solutions make it easy for builders and homeowners to offer affordable luxurycombining beautiful design, effortless installation, and future-ready smart home compatibility.

Combine expertise across firmware control systems, advanced sensing algorithms,

custom PCBA design, component selection, manufacturing support, and quality

assurance procedures as integrated development processes rather than separate

engineering disciplines. Utilize direct customer engagement to guide technical

design decisions ensuring new technologies and features address real-world

installation challenges faced by both professional electricians and DIY consumers.

Implement user experience validation through prototype testing and iterative

refinement based on customer feedback, demonstrating ability to translate technical

capabilities into compelling consumer value propositions. Design, implement, and

debug embedded firmware for Atmel and STM32 microcontrollers using C

programming language and Eclipse-based IDEs. Develop switch control systems

requiring deep understanding of real-time embedded systems, interrupt handling,

and hardware abstraction layers. Engineer novel sensor systems for complex

environments utilizing firmware-based digital signal processing, analog signal

conditioning circuits, and algorithm development. Employ Python and Excel for

prototyping and iterative design optimization of sensing algorithms for consumer

applications. Architect and implement low-cost communication protocols for

electrically connected light switch networks. Integrate rapid electronic prototyping, C

firmware development, and dataanalytics infrastructure using Google Sheets for

field data collection and real-world algorithm optimization. Conduct comprehensive

microcontroller selection analysis using vendor relationships and technical research.

Develop custom drivers and bring up peripheral functionality using C programming,

technical documentation, and AI-assisted development tools such as Claude CLI.

Utilize Altium Designer for schematic capture, BOM creation, and multi-layer PCB

layout design for production consumer electronics at volumes up to 100k per year.

Collaborate with PCB vendors for prototyping and contract manufacturers for

design-for-manufacturing optimization. Provide on-site and remote manufacturing

programming support, requiring expertise in compilation toolchains, firmware

flashing procedures, and comprehensive product functionality testing with incoming

quality controls, in circuit testing and functional circuit testing. Source electronic

components through vendor relationships and online resources, ensuring

compliance with safety standards while optimizing cost and functionality for

consumer electronic products. Work with contract manufacturers using PLM

services to specify components to be used in production. Design and implement

robotic test systems using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Python, and C++. Develop

automated data collection systems utilizing UART and I2C protocols for sensor data

extraction and desktop computer integration for analysis and storage. Execute rapid

de-risking of technical challenges through iterative experimental approaches.

Manage high-uncertainty projects requiring scientific methodology, stakeholder

communication, and drive agile project planning in fast-paced development

environments. Soldering and PCB rework expertise utilized to reduce prototype

cycles and reduce cost of development. Diagnose electronic and firmware issues

using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and custom

1605463093.1
