Camila Duarte
Camila earned a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Universidade de São Paulo and a postgraduate certificate in IoT Systems from the University of Twente. Her early career took her across farms deploying resilient sensor networks and pushing OTA updates over patchy connections. Those field lessons—battery life, antenna placement, graceful failure—show up in her writing. She focuses on IoT reliability, edge analytics, and sustainability, showing how tiny firmware changes can save energy at scale. Camila co-organizes meetups for women in embedded systems, guest-hosts climate-tech podcasts, and publishes teardown notes of devices that claim to be “low power.” Away from work, she surfs small breaks, does street photography in early light, and hosts feijoada dinners where conversations inevitably drift to UART pins.
