Sensor systems from hardware to cloud.

BLE mesh firmware, on-device ML, and full-stack platforms — designed, built, and shipped by one engineer.

About

Drew Olson

Senior Engineer — Embedded Systems / Full-Stack / Edge ML

Sensor systems engineer with 12+ years spanning consumer electronics at Meta Reality Labs, medical devices at Stryker, and nuclear electronics in the U.S. Navy. I characterize MEMS sensors, write BLE mesh firmware in C, ship full-stack platforms in TypeScript and Kotlin, and build ML models that run on wrists and microcontrollers.

I designed everything on this site — the mesh node firmware, the AI inference pipeline, the pet tracking platform, and the web tools. If you need someone who can own a system from the PCB through the API to the dashboard, that is what I do.
