A system that controls emergencies in a building. The nBox supports addressable DALI over PLC luminaires and remote switches and uses a mobile interface to complete commissioning and maintenance. It excels in being ultra-responsive due to our subscription-based API over WebSockets. The product also uses MQTT to integrate up to 100x nBoxs, allowing it to scale for huge buildings.

I was one of the main developers and later became the team lead.

The MDC is CEiiA core for vehicle sharing and fleet devices. It was designed as a framework to allow the integration of vehicles in the "mobi.me" ecosystem.

I worked on it from concept, hardware design, software implementation, and production. We collaborated with Renault, Govecs, Ecoltra, and Mitsubishi, adding support for some of those manufacturers' vehicles to lock/unlock, enabling/disabling the ignition, monitoring location and CAN bus parameters. For Ecooltra, we build a fleet management system for scooter sharing.

The uMDC is a fleet management device for ultra low power vehicles. It is based on Nordic NRF51, runs bare metal C++, has a GPS, and uses GPRS to communicate with the server.

I've worked as an architect and senior developer for the product. We've implemented an MQTT library for server communication. It also uses Bluetooth LE for mobile communication and allows features like tracking, reservation, locking, unlocking, battery monitoring, and anti-theft alarm.

The Synopsys Bluetooth LE controller has a dedicated CPU and communicates with the host using HCI.

I was one of the Synopsys BLE controller firmware developers, mainly working on redesigning the product build system, supporting ARC CPU, fixing air timing-related issues, and interoperability testing (Barcelona UnPlugFest).

SDAP is a secure protocol that allows any machine to send signed and encrypted code to dedicated hardware. The code is executed in the target without anyone in the middle having access to it. The receiving hardware can confirm the authority of the receiving message.

I've implemented a library that can communicate using SDAP with another machine-dedicated SDAP hardware.

SDAP is particularly useful for products such as HDCP, where HDMI TVs can decrypt high-secure streams, and it is desired that the secure firmware gets updated.

Android Set-top box is one of Nonius's significant products, installed in thousands of rooms across Portugal and Brasil.

I designed and implemented the Android Set-top box for hotel TVs, implementing applications such as stream TV, video on demand, room service, promotions, configurable themes, games, and more. I also implemented both Android applications and provided platform work.
