Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristophe De Wagter is a research engineer and embedded systems specialist with 17 years of experience designing and delivering avionics, signal processing, and control solutions from Delft, Netherlands. He combines long-term academic research at Delft University of Technology with hands-on consulting through his firm, developing microcontroller firmware and micro-electronic systems for unmanned aircraft and safety-critical applications. As a founding partner at AeroVinci and contributor to the well-known Paparazzi open-source UAV project, he has deep expertise in STM32 low-level drivers, I2C, and UAVCAN integration. His work blends rigorous research methods with practical optimisation and debugging of hardware interfaces, making him comfortable across algorithm development, embedded C, and real-world flight systems. Colleagues know him for turning complex aerospace requirements into reliable, field-proven implementations and for contributing subtle low-level improvements that materially boost system robustness.
