Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnna Bridge is a Staff Software Engineer based in Chelmsford with 11 years in embedded and IoT development and over two decades of embedded-systems experience behind her. She currently drives CI/QE automation and workflow improvements at Arm, having been a long-time Mbed OS maintainer, release manager and external contributor contact. Her hands-on expertise spans low-level C firmware, interrupt handling across Cortex architectures, and automating release and test pipelines (including LAVA and Python tooling). Previously she led Bluetooth firmware teams at Samsung/CSR, combining people leadership with deep technical review and delivery. Anna is an active contributor to the widely used Arm Mbed OS project, where she implemented re-entrant critical sections and cross-architecture interrupt fixes—work that quietly underpins many IoT devices. Colleagues know her for reliably turning complex embedded requirements into repeatable, automated processes.
