IT architect recently retired.
I had a lot of projects over the years, most in telecommunications area and television. Developing for the pleasure, I learned major development languages, keeping a preference for C.
I love multi-platform and multi-languages projects requiring technical skills.
A few years ago I discovered IOT which offered electronics, low level programming and high level programming too. My first project involved RFID and LED strips on Arduino and a web server on RPI.
I am now working on home IOT projects with ESP8266 and ESP32.
While Arduino framework is the de facto standard, It is quite heavy and add a layer of abstraction which is not always necessary.
If I can avoid Arduino libraries, I prefer to work with latest Espressif frameworks and developed a small library to allow running the same application on Arduino, NONOS or RTOS.
Because the tools are often more interesting than the result, while waiting for AliExpress parts, I recently played with the fascinating Platformio and platform-espressif8266 to correct a few bugs, add support to OTA, add support for NONOS 3.0.4 and looking to add support for RTOS-3.3 (ESP-IDF).
I will try to publish more stuff in the future.
