Two Decades in Linux &
Embedded Systems
Hi, I'm a solo software consultant with over 20 years of experience providing software solutions focusing on embedded systems. I have extensive experience using C++, C, Python, and Linux to create efficient and reliable software solutions for applications like IoT devices or industrial control systems.
What I do
- Consulting: I work closely with your team to understand your needs, design a robust software architecture that meets your requirements, and create a plan to bring it into reality. I help you optimize and refactor your existing code to improve performance and resource usage, focusing on two essential aspects. The first is runtime performance, which affects user experience. The second is development efficiency(speed and ease of development), which influences time to market and adaptability to future changes.
- Development: I pick the right tool for the task at hand, whether it is modern C++, Python, or C, to ensure the highest reliability, maintainability, and efficiency of the solution (understood as both runtime performance and development efficiency).
My Approach and What It Means to You
In essence, my methodology boils down to two concepts: communication and pragmatism.
Communication is the key to achieving project success. I'm committed to an open dialogue, ensuring our objectives and strategies are aligned. Clear communication saves costs and reduces the risk of creating something that deviates from your needs.
Pragmatism in software development involves balancing simplicity and over-engineering. Simple solutions may initially reduce development time but may end up in software that is a mystery and a challenge to maintain due to missing necessary abstractions. On the other hand, too many abstractions can lead to bloated code, increasing the time and costs of future developments. Over the last two decades, I've seen those extremes and pretty much everything in between and developed an intuitive sense of what it means to be pragmatic in this field.
