Thomas Sweeney

I’m an Embedded Systems Developer specializing in low-power IoT hardware and intelligent automation systems. I design and build end-to-end solutions that integrate embedded firmware, wireless communication (LoRaWAN, Bluetooth), sensor systems, and cloud backends to create reliable, data-driven products. My work focuses on translating complex technical challenges into practical, scalable technology — particularly in agriculture and industrial applications — where hardware, software, and real-world constraints intersect.

• Professional experience in the semiconductor industry, including physical verification and complex silicon design workflows
• Design and development of low-power embedded systems using C/C++, bare-metal and RTOS environments
• Experience with microcontrollers including STM32, Ambiq Apollo3, Teensy 4.0, and Raspberry Pi platforms
• Development of LoRaWAN and Bluetooth-enabled IoT devices for long-range, battery-powered sensing applications
• Hardware design experience including schematic capture, PCB layout, power management, sensor integration, and board bring-up
• Cloud-connected IoT architecture development using AWS IoT Core, MQTT, serverless backends, and time-series databases
• Founder & CTO of SproutSync, building modular greenhouse automation systems integrating wireless sensors, irrigation control, and edge intelligence
• Experience designing scalable device provisioning systems, database schemas, and multi-tenant IoT topic architectures
• Strong cross-functional capability bridging hardware, firmware, cloud infrastructure, and product strategy
