Franco Saworski
blik GmbH Tech and Team Lead Embedded Systems
Munich, Germany
Shipping industry IoT products in startups since early 2015.
Currently team lead for embedded development at blik GmbH.
Formerly lead embedded developer for ProGlove.
Between 2009 and 2015 I studied physics at LMU Munich. Between 2012 and 2014 I was working student for software and hardware development at Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics.
In early 2015 I started working at the startup Workaround, better known as ProGlove, as a pre-seed employee and lead software developer for their wearable handscanner system. We prototyped the scanner, also known as "Mark", close to the customer and shipping two product releases, "Mark One" and "Mark One S". The software was ported to "Mark One S" with Zephyr. Building the software dev team, our team culture, and our development, production, and compliance processes made my role diverse and a shaping experience.
Late in 2017 I assumed my current role as embedded hardware and software lead at startup blik in their pre-seed stage. We develop a battery powered sensor node and receiver used to track load carriers, amongst other goods, in logistics and industry. With my former experience I am shaping our team, building development processes, working towards production at scale of our currently developed hardware product.
During my work at blik, we publicly contributed code back to ZephyrOS, which is running on our sensorunit.
