About Marcus
IoT Consultant & Architect | AWS IoT, LoRaWAN, BLE, NB-IoT
Wals, Austria - 11:57 pm local time
I work as an independent IoT & Cloud Architect / Advisor, not as a coding-for-hire contractor. Clients bring me in for clear technical decisions, reduced delivery risk, and production-ready architectures. Implementation support is available where it adds value, typically for pilots or critical system components.
🧠 How I work
• Vendor-neutral and architecture-first
• Strong focus on operations, security, and scalability
• Clear decisions over endless iterations
🧱 What I do best
• IoT architecture reviews and second opinions (CTO-level)
• Connectivity and protocol selection: LoRaWAN (public & private), BLE, NB-IoT, MQTT, CoAP
• Platform and cloud architecture: AWS IoT, ThingsBoard
• System-level architecture for long-lived IoT platforms
• APIs for IoT systems: ingestion, control, integration, data access
🧬 Digital twins
• Device and asset state modeling
• Shadowing and digital representations of physical devices
• Command and control patterns
• Twin lifecycle management
• Consistency between device state, cloud state, and APIs
• Digital twins as foundation for operations and integrations
📦 Fleet management & OTA
• Fleet lifecycle management at scale
• OTA update strategies and rollout campaigns
• Staged rollouts, canaries, rollback strategies
• Mass configuration and configuration drift control
• Fleet versioning and update readiness
• Production rollout readiness for long-lived devices
📊 Monitoring & alerting (production-grade)
• Alerting design for large-scale fleets and long-lived systems
• Threshold-based alerting with hysteresis
• Severity models: info, warning, critical
• Escalation paths and on-call readiness
• Noise reduction: deduplication, suppression
• Notifications: push, email, SMS, voice calls, WhatsApp
🔐 IoT security concepts
• Device identity and authentication models
• Password-based authentication
• Certificate-based authentication (X.509)
• Secure provisioning and onboarding
• Credential rotation and lifecycle management
• OSCORE-based security for constrained devices
🏭 Enterprise & industrial experience
• Large-scale industrial and automotive IoT environments
• Fleet and vehicle platforms at enterprise scale
• Long-lived systems with strict security and compliance requirements
• Experience in ISO 27001-aligned environments
• Experience working with clients across the EU, USA, and Middle East
• Deep experience in regulated environments in Germany and Austria
• Client details available on request due to NDA
Typical clients
• CTOs and engineering leads seeking vendor-neutral guidance
• SMEs preparing a scalable IoT rollout
• Enterprises needing independent architecture reviews, governance, or RfP support
If you need architecture and operational clarity, not just more code, I’m usually a good fit.
