Summary
Luke Van Horn is a wearable embedded engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing IoT devices, firmware, and secure cloud integrations from prototype to small-scale manufacturing and large-scale supply chain hand-off. He specializes in ultra low-power systems and SoCs like Nordic and ESP32, with deep experience in BLE, cellular connectivity, time-series architectures, and HIPAA-compliant deployments. Luke has led end-to-end projects—from battery-year air quality sensors and stadium-scale computer-vision hardware to clinical wearable systems that replace paper workflows—blending circuit/PCB design, embedded C, and serverless cloud services. He’s built production-ready manufacturing assets (custom Linux images, BOM sourcing, enclosures) and operational cloud tooling for analytics and secure device management. Based in Hampton, VA, he pairs startup founder grit with enterprise-grade engineering practices and a track record of shipping robust, field-tested products in harsh and regulated environments. An uncommon strength is his comfort spanning both low-level hardware constraints and high-level cloud/security architecture, enabling smooth handoffs between R&D and supply chain.
