Summary
Alexey Zakharov is a Senior Embedded Software Engineer based in the Netherlands with 15 years of experience designing control systems and developing hard-realtime software for robotics, industrial automation, and high-speed motion control. He combines a strong mathematical background and an MSc in Autonomous Systems with deep hands-on C/C++ expertise, delivering production-grade embedded solutions since early roles in metallurgy automation through long-term engineering at Vectioneer. Alexey has repeatedly bridged research and product development—integrating open-source robotics libraries in EU projects and building deterministic control stacks for camera motion and vehicle systems. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous system modeling, low-level performance tuning, and pragmatic architecture for safety-critical environments. Not obvious from the title: his career traces both industrial process control and autonomous systems research, giving him rare fluency across legacy PLC ecosystems and modern robotics platforms.
