    370: This Is the Whey

    Alvaro Prieto, an electrical and firmware engineer at Sofar Ocean, discusses his work on oceanic remote-sensing buoys and his personal passion projects, including making cheese and building weather stations. He details the evolution of his cheese-monitoring device from an over-engineered prototype to a low-power Bluetooth wedge using an nRF52, and explains how these side projects helped him secure jobs at companies like Apple and Verily. Prieto also shares insights on choosing wireless protocols (Zigbee, BLE, LoRa) for his weather station and the importance of getting a working prototype before optimizing.
