He completed his undergraduate studies in electronics engineering at BVM Engineering College, Anand. He is a seasoned project developer with several award-winning projects under his belt.

I would like to thank my parents and family for their constant support and encouragement throughout this project.

I would also like to thank Neil D’mello, Shazeen Iqbal, Preet Ahuja, Rafiaa Khan, and the entire Packt team for their guidance throughout this project, and Asim Zulfiqar and John Witts for their technical insights! Finally, I would like to thank Yashashree Hardikar for all the initial support.

About the reviewer

Asim Zulfiqar is a blogger and tech content creator who has been writing tutorials on embedded systems and IoT, specifically on MQTT, on his blog and YouTube channel, High Voltages. He also provides IoT and embedded freelance services to companies through this channel.

He completed his bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering at Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan. After that, he completed his Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degree program in Photonics Integrated Circuits, Sensors, and Networks at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Italy), Aston University (UK), and Osaka University (Japan).

Reviewing a book is more exciting than I thought, and I have enjoyed reviewing this book. None of this would have been possible without my family, friends, teachers, and all the open-source communities that helped me gain enough knowledge to do so. I would also like to thank the author of this book, Dhairya, who helped me learn some new concepts, and Packt, for providing me this opportunity.
