Carl is an electronics engineer, educator, and prototyper based in Manila, Philippines. He’s been deep in the hardware game for over a decade, with a background that spans industrial sensor systems, embedded design, and, for the past several years, some of the most widely used LoRaWAN modules on the market
He currently works at RAKwireless, where he helps lead product education and development as an IoT Product Specialist. If you’ve ever looked up how to use a RAK3172 or wanted to understand WisBlock’s modular ecosystem, chances are you’ve read one of Carl’s guides or seen his posts. He’s been a huge force in making LoRaWAN approachable — not just by helping build the tools, but by teaching the rest of us how to use them.
In today’s episode, we dig into Carl’s journey from prototyping industrial sensors to helping ship over a million LoRaWAN modules, his philosophy on documentation and community feedback, and what’s next for the LoRaWAN hardware world — from ESP32 + LoRa hybrids to satellite-connected devices and even Meshtastic mesh networks.
Carl’s one of the most thoughtful and enthusiastic builders in the space — let’s get into it.
