Hi, my name is

Alexander Zylla.

Full-Stack IoT Developer

I build end-to-end IoT solutions — from embedded firmware on Zephyr and BLE/Zigbee devices to cloud platforms and web dashboards. Bridging the gap between hardware and software, one connected product at a time.

About Me.

A bit of background

I'm a full-stack IoT developer who thrives at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud software. From writing firmware for BLE and Zigbee devices on Zephyr RTOS to building the web platforms that manage them — I deliver connected products end-to-end.

At smart IoT I work on custommade connected products — hardware engineering, firmware, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity. 100% made in Germany.
