Special thanks to the Packt team for asking me to write this book. It was a great opportunity for me to share and to learn. I believe I did a good job together with the Packt team and the reviewers, Carlos and Tarik, to present the subjects to you in the most effective way possible. Their valuable feedback and efforts made this book worth publishing.

Carlos Bugs is an electrical engineer with more than 15 years' experience of working with technology. He has experience in all the main stages of IoT product development, including preparation for large-scale production. He has undertaken projects in a variety of areas, including automotive, energy, instrumentation, medicine, and agriculture. Currently, he is the CTO of a tech company that integrates hardware projects (sensors, nodes, and gateways) with data science. He did the setup for large-scale production in China and thereafter in Brazil, where more than 70,000 sensors have been manufactured for big clients.

He has also undertaken many research projects and has won awards in Brazil and the United States. He can be reached on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlos-bugs-6a272458/

I would like to thank God for allowing me to contribute to this amazing book. I also wish to thank my family (my wife and son) for being my inspiration and for being patient during the review process. Finally, I would like to thank the author, Vedat, Neil, and the entire Packt team, who worked so hard on this book.

Tarik Ceber is currently employed as a hardware development engineer at TechSat GmbH in Germany. He started his career as a self-learner in 2005 as a C++ developer and worked on various unmanned aerial vehicle projects. Because of his passion for embedded systems and avionics, he has also developed electronic printed circuit boards, including flight control computers, inertial navigation systems, battery management systems, and avionics test equipment for a vast arsenal of aerial platforms (small fixed-wing UAVs, tactical UAVs, quadcopters, and eVTOLs). Aside from the aviation business, he has also participated in IoT projects and designed printed circuit boards for smart home appliances, including BLE-enabled smart meters and RGB color bulbs.

I would like to thank the author for allowing me to be a technical reviewer of this informative and well-organized book, which truly fills a practice-oriented information source gap in the fast-growing IoT world.
