Summary
With my many years of professional experience in electronics, programming, and software development, I can provide the following services with high expertise and reliability.
In recent years, the focus has been on implementing software for communication with Bluetooth LE on various systems (embedded, embedded Linux, mobile applications). The main task was developing communication protocols based on Bluetooth Low Energy and their cross-platform implementation.
I have extensive experience with large projects that I have carried out from concept/specification through design, implementation, prototype building, and testing to production transfer.
My strengths lie in working independently, with a problem- and solution-oriented approach, and in a structured way. With my excellent self-learning skills, I can quickly adapt to new challenges and apply new methods and technologies.
I take a practical ("hands-on") approach to daily challenges. For me, that means planning as much as necessary but implementing as much as possible.
