Summary
Bjorn Schouteten is a firmware and embedded systems engineer with eight years’ experience building low-level system firmware for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V platforms, from bare-metal bring-up to FreeRTOS integration. He combines hands-on C/C++ and assembly coding with hardware-oriented skills in SystemVerilog/Verilog, SoC simulation (Verilator) and CPU design—work that includes adding the RISC-V compressed extension and tooling for bespoke processors. Comfortable with peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, DMA), linker scripts and startup code, he excels at system analysis and tricky debugging tasks that push designs to production readiness. Based in the Netherlands, Bjorn enjoys tackling the hardest problems in firmware and brings an electrical-engineering mindset that helps bridge silicon, simulation and software.
