PhD in Engineering with 5+ years of experience in research (IoT security). Published & presented papers, found a few bugs here and there.

Tech I've Worked With:

- Languages: Python, C, Rust-curious. Experience across the stack, from firmware to full applications.

- Wireless & Networking: Signal processing, low-level protocols, network engineering, with a focus on connectivity (5G, BLE, WiFi).

- Tools: Wireshark, git, CI/CD, Docker. Focused on whatever gets the job done.

Although my academic background is in IoT security, I'm not seeking a security role. I excel when solving challenges that blend multiple disciplines, such as UX. If you're working on something innovative and need a versatile engineer with a hacker’s mindset, let's connect.

Is "Non-IP Data Delivery" (basically SMS but for raw data packets, bound to a pre-defined application server) already a thing in practice?

In theory, you get all the power saving that the cellular network stack has to offer without having to maintain a connection. While on protocol layer NIDD is almost handled like an SMS (paging, connectionless), it is not routed through a telephony core (and hence sloooow). The base station / core will directly forward it to your predefined application server.
