To my parents, Bhumika and Atit, for their sacrifices and constant encouragement.

Dhairya Parikh currently works as a data engineer at Accenture, where he builds efficient data products to help their clients get the most out of their data. He completed his undergraduate studies in electronics engineering at BVM Engineering College, Anand. He is a seasoned project developer with several award-winning projects under his belt. His most recent literary works include several articles written for the Circuit Cellar magazine. Most of his articles and projects are based on IoT and machine learning. He is an open source enthusiast with an interest in building projects that make a positive impact on peoples lives using new development hardware and writing about them in his spare time.

I would like to thank my parents and family for their constant support and encouragement throughout this project.

I would also like to thank Neil Dmello, Shazeen Iqbal, Preet Ahuja, Rafiaa Khan, and the entire Packt team for their guidance throughout this project, and Asim Zulfiqar and John Witts for their technical insights! Finally, I would like to thank Yashashree Hardikar for all the initial support.

Asim Zulfiqar is a blogger and tech content creator who has been writing tutorials on embedded systems and IoT, specifically on MQTT, on his blog and YouTube channel, High Voltages. He also provides IoT and embedded freelance services to companies through this channel.

He completed his bachelors degree in electronic engineering at Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan. After that, he completed his Erasmus Mundus joint masters degree program in Photonics Integrated Circuits, Sensors, and Networks at Scuola Superiore SantAnna (Italy), Aston University (UK), and Osaka University (Japan).

Reviewing a book is more exciting than I thought, and I have enjoyed reviewing this book. None of this would have been possible without my family, friends, teachers, and all the open-source communities that helped me gain enough knowledge to do so. I would also like to thank the author of this book, Dhairya, who helped me learn some new concepts, and Packt, for providing me this opportunity.
