Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDirk Niggemann is a senior consultant and technically deep software engineer with over two decades of telecom and communications systems experience and seven years in his current senior-level practice. He specializes in SIP/CTI/IVR, SS7/SIGTRAN signaling, carrier switching, embedded systems, and secure payment-in-scope (PCI) environments, having held architect and engineering roles at Semafone, Avaya, Nortel and Periphonics. Dirk blends low-level C/C++ embedded development and Linux/Solaris server work with telecom network protocols and IMS/IN platforms, and he has practical experience integrating device drivers for scientific imaging in open-source INDI projects. At Sycurio he applies that niche cross-domain expertise to secure communications and complex call-processing architectures, often solving interoperability and build-system challenges that others overlook. He holds a BA in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge and is known for reliably shipping robust, protocol-heavy systems where stability and signaling correctness are critical.
