Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Bradford is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years building embedded Linux, firmware, and electrical systems across products from RFID tags to enterprise scanners. He blends deep low-level skills—U-Boot, kernel work, microcontroller firmware, RF/RFID and power system design—with build-system expertise in OpenEmbedded/Yocto, Buildroot and Debian packaging. An active contributor and author in the embedded Linux community, he co-wrote the Cross Linux From Scratch embedded book and has upstream patches in U-Boot, Yocto/Poky and OpenEmbedded. He’s shipped production firmware for sensors, IoT gateways, BMCs and multi‑platform storage servers, and led license-compliance and architecture efforts on several product lines. Based in New York, he pairs electrical engineering roots with modern software practice to solve hardware-software integration challenges that others treat as black boxes. Off-duty he fancies himself a sword fighter, a hint of discipline and precision that carries into his engineering work.
