Background

About Simon Rackliff

I live and breath embedded software - responsible for projects with small teams working on with embedded C/C++, Python, and CI/CD for embedded software, test systems, embedded RTOS. I have a focus on Continuous Integration, defining process for build and test of software in modules, systems and on target. Working out how a complex system will work together, and guiding a team in the right direction. Working with different groups, across countries and cultures, to solve complex problems together - by desiging and agreeing interfaces that can stand the test of time. The majority of my experience is working with RF technologies, requiring an understanding of both the embedded software requirements, and the hardware and radio requirements - primarily Bluetooth, but also Wifi, Zigbee, I2S, UART, USB. I have worked on the Bluetooth specification in the Bluetooth SIG, and been instrumental in being first-to-market with newly ratified features. In addition to English, I speak Danish fluently, having lived in Denmark since 2009.
