It Started With a Blinking LED
Every great engineering journey starts somewhere small. For Circuvent Technologies, it started with an ESP32 development board and a single LED.
The First Circuit
In early 2023, I plugged an ESP32 into a breadboard, connected an LED to GPIO pin 2, and wrote my first embedded C++ program:
void setup() {
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(2, LOW);
delay(1000);
}That blinking LED was the first "circuvent" — the first time I bypassed the barrier between software and hardware. A simple act, but it planted a seed.
The Name
"Circuvent" is a portmanteau: Circuit + Circumvent. It encapsulates our philosophy:
Use circuits — both electrical and logical — to circumvent the limits of what technology can do.
