Hi, my name is

Jayden Thomas

I build embedded systems applications

The ubiquity of embedded systems and their limitless implementations inspire me to build useful, elegant solutions that make life a little easier.

About Me

I am a recent computer engineering graduate with a concentration in systems programming. The complex interplay of the many components in embedded/computer systems to form a coherent — almost magical — monolith has always been fascinating to me. My passion has always lied in the creation of applications with real, tangible results. Below is a curation of my ever-growing set of proficiencies:
  • Mircopython
  • Embedded Linux
  • C
  • Rust
  • STM 32 Cube IDE
  • ESP IDF
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Saleae Logic
  • FreeRTOS
  • Robotics
  • Baremetal Programming
  • Data Structures and Algorithm Design
