Expertise
One engineer, the full electro-mechanical stack — from bus protocol to bracket.
Embedded software & protocol engineering
Bare-metal and RTOS firmware in C/C++: state-machine architectures, driver development, bootloaders and protocol engineering — Modbus TCP/RTU, socket-based and custom protocols — with hardware bring-up on ARM Cortex-M class targets.
PLC, robotics & automation
PLC programming (TIA Portal, SCL, IEC 61131-3), machine control, SCADA integration and industrial robot programming (ABB RAPID / RobotStudio).
Mechanical engineering
3D CAD design (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Rhino/Grasshopper), design-for-manufacturing, tolerance analysis and mechatronic integration of sensors and actuators.
R&D & prototyping
Proof-of-concept development, test-rig design, measurement automation and data analysis — turning ideas into validated designs.
Hardware development & PCB design
Electronics development from schematic to validated board: PCB design, component selection and board bring-up — including safety-critical automotive designs to ASIL-D and SIL 2, built on NXP S32K3 safety microcontrollers.
Track record
Engineering experience built up in salaried roles and continued as an independent professional. Details and references available on request.
2026 — present
e-mechanical — independent engineer & software developer
Full-time operation of my own engineering practice: AI automation and highly interconnected software & hardware products — mobile, custom platforms and cloud — developed as proprietary IP for multiple industries, alongside project and contract work for clients in the Netherlands and abroad.
2023 — 2026
R&D Engineer — Intercel
R&D engineering on battery systems — from mechanical battery pack design and battery control systems to safety-critical hardware and PCB design (ASIL-D / SIL 2), embedded and diagnostic software, and test & validation. Beyond product development, improved production by developing customised modular hardware solutions and modernised the company's digital operations, including automated software deployment.
2021 — 2022
Engineer — Protakt B.V.
Mechanical engineering and industrial automation: 3D CAD design (Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks), PLC software (TIA Portal, SCL) and industrial robot programming (ABB RAPID, RobotStudio).
2014 — 2026
Side ventures — e-mechanical & ZZP ICT venture
Software and web development alongside studies and employment (C#, C++, Python, PHP, SQL, JavaScript) — the practice now continued full-time under the e-mechanical name.
2017 — 2021
HBO Bachelor Mechanical Engineering — Hogeschool van Amsterdam
A deliberately broad foundation: qualified first in ICT (MBO 4, Nova College, 2011 — 2013), then chose mechanical engineering at bachelor level (Werktuigbouwkunde, NLQF 6 / EQF 6) to extend that software base into the physical domain — the combination that lets e-mechanical cover software, electronics and mechanics as one discipline.
How I work
01
Scope on deliverables
Every engagement starts with a clearly scoped result — a working software release, a validated design, a commissioned machine. Predictable for you, compliant for both of us.
02
Flexible execution
Development, simulation and design work is done where it is most effective — on-site for bring-up, commissioning and integration, remote where that keeps the pace high and the lines short.
03
Transfer & documentation
Work is delivered with documentation, reproducible builds and a handover your own team can maintain. No lock-in.
Contact
Available for new assignments — direct or via an intermediary.
