John C. Maxwell

Software Engineer

specialized in robotics, devops and systems

I integrate new and established technologies in robotics and IoT, with a proven track record of implementing innovative solutions to complex challenges.

At Brisa Robótica, which I co-founded, I led 6 team members' efforts to transform non-autonomous machines into an autonomous fleet, while at Synapticon, I developed software stacks for an autonomous lawnmower and scalable test infrastructure for embedded systems.

Unfortunately, Brisa Robótica faced challenges with high import taxes on hardware and a small and risky market for automation in Brazil, which made it difficult to secure key clients. Despite our hard work and innovative solutions, these factors ultimately prevented us from achieving financial sustainability.

Therefore, I am seeking a new opportunity in Hamburg or remotely.
