Hey, I'm Mohammad, founder of Novel Bits!
I’m a Bluetooth Developer and founder of Novel Bits and the Bluetooth Developer Academy. I’ve been on your journey before…
I’ve gone from a newbie to an expert in BLE development. Having worked with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) since 2014, I’ve experienced all the stages that you go through from being a beginner all the way up to becoming an expert in the field.
What makes me qualified as a Bluetooth expert?
- I’ve self-published a top-rated book on the topic: Intro to Bluetooth Low Energy, which has helped thousands of developers get started with learning BLE and developing Bluetooth-connected products more efficiently.
- I’ve created an educational YouTube video series about Bluetooth Low Energy technology that’s been watched and referenced by thousands of developers.
- I’ve consulted for the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) for two and half years as the Developer Relations Manager for the Americas region.
- I’ve consulted for tens of startups and Fortune 500 companies on the design, architecture, and marketing of Bluetooth Low Energy products.
I’ve felt the pain of the often enormous learning curve associated with developing Bluetooth Low Energy products!
I’ve learned the hard way, wasting days and weeks getting up to speed while struggling with poor or non-existent resources.
…and that’s why I started this website, blog, and this whole business (which I run full-time).
I hope you find the provided information and resources helpful for your throughout your BLE learning journey!
All the best,
Mohammad Afaneh
