About Me

In case you did not read it on the frontpage: My name is Herman Guijt β€” an embedded software engineer, architect, and integrator. I’m 40 years old now. I studied electronics and have been working in embedded systems development for 17 years. I apply the right tools, methods, and techniques to deliver reliable solutions on time, within budget, and aligned with your functional requirements. From Business case to support in the field. I have hands-on experience with every phase of the embedded software lifecycle: from early-stage exploration and defining the business case, through requirements analysis, architecture, design, implementation, testing, and formal acceptance β€” all the way to field support, maintenance, and lessons learned.
