About

I’m Markus Hutzler, an embedded systems architect and engineer with a strong background spanning hardware design, C/C++ firmware development, and embedded Linux. I’ve worked across the full lifecycle from applied R&D and prototyping to production-quality firmware, hardware, and testing—often in the context of IoT devices, low-power and energy-harvesting systems, and wireless communication.

In recent roles, I’ve led proof-of-concept work all the way to production, including firmware and embedded Linux (Yocto/buildroot), production test development and reporting, and maintainable version management. I also bring experience in server and database architecture and practical DevOps-style tooling, and I enjoy bridging the gap between embedded devices and the backend systems that make them work reliably in the real world.
