About the Reviewer

Catalin Batrinu graduated from the Politehnica University of Bucharest in Electronics, Telecommunications, and Information Technology. He has worked as a software developer in telecommunications for the past 16 years.

He started working with old protocols to the latest network protocols and technologies so he caught all the transformations in telecommunication industry.

He has implemented many telecommunication protocols, from access adaptations and backbone switches to high capacity carrier-grade switches on various hardware platforms, such as Wintegra and Broadcom.

Internet of Things came as a natural evolution for him, and now he collaborates with different companies to construct the world of the future that will make our life more comfortable and secure.

Using ESP8266, he has prototyped devices such as irrigation controller, smart sockets, window shutters, lighting control using Digital Addressable Lighting Control (DALC), and environment control, all of them being controlled directly from a mobile application over the cloud. Even an MQTT broker with a bridging and web socket server has been developed for the ESP8266. Soon, all these devices will be part of our daily life, so we will all enjoy their functionality.
