I make connected devices keep working in places where coverage is bad.
I'm Mattia. I help companies build hardened firmware for battery-powered devices that send their data over the mobile network, over satellite, or over LoRa networks. I shipped firmware for global deployments across Europe, South America, North America, North Africa and South Africa. Devices in the middle of nowhere: farmland, deserts, mountains. I make sure they actually work, and keep on working once they're deployed.
About me
I write the software that runs on the device itself, the firmware, and I help make the decisions around it, like which network, which chip and which SIM. For some teams I write the complete firmware, others bring me in for the one part that keeps failing.
For almost five years I was Tech Lead at Agurotech. I worked on the whole product cycle: I wrote the firmware, led the hardware team on electronics and housing, ran assembly in-house and did the field work. The network grew from about 50 LoRa sensors to thousands on NB-IoT, LTE-M and 2G.
Today I'm a founding engineer at Schematik, an AI hardware IDE, where I focus on simulation, firmware compilation and CAD. I use AI tooling every day, and I know where it speeds up firmware work and where it doesn't.

Fiumara Labs is a small IoT boutique on purpose. You work with me directly, not with an account manager or a junior learning on your project.

Send me two lines about your device, where it will be deployed and what's going wrong. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
