Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPedro Minatel is a Developer Relations leader and IoT researcher with 11 years of hands-on experience designing hardware and firmware for industrial and consumer connected products. He founded IoTMakers, authored Samsung Brazil’s first global IoT patent, and has led product development efforts that earned cross-incubation recognition in South Korea. At Espressif he moved from Developer Advocate to Developer Relations Manager while contributing practical examples and documentation to flagship open-source projects like esp-idf and arduino-esp32, helping lower the barrier for embedded developers. His background spans smart grid systems, secure authentication/location IoT products, and energy metering platforms, blending research rigor with product-focused engineering. Comfortable switching between low-level peripherals (I2S, PWM/LEDC) and ecosystem-level developer support, he’s known for turning complex embedded features into well-documented, usable examples.
