Scouting report
Embedded/microcontroller specialist & published author
assessed from open-source footprint
Armstrong is a Computer Engineer and author whose strength is firmware and embedded systems — 'PIC16 Projects' (80★) and 'RP2040' MicroPython work (17★) drive 217 total stars across C, Python and Assembly. As a solo author with deep hardware focus (70% systems), he's a rare low-level specialist; caveats are high abandonment (75%) and lighter recent volume (51 commits last year). Ideal for IoT, firmware, or microcontroller-heavy roles that need genuine bare-metal expertise.
