Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdwin Heerschap is an Engineering Lead with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience blending software engineering and mechanical engineering, currently delivering industrial IoT solutions with Symbiotech using wireless mesh technologies. He brings hands‑on embedded C/C++ and Python expertise alongside strong Linux and Git practices, and an academic foundation in Engineering Science (First Class Honours) that underpins his mathematical and optimization skills. His background includes practical field work in mine ventilation and refrigeration, giving him a rare combination of firmware-level development and real-world systems engineering. Proven at rapidly shipping features and automations—having compressed planned work timelines and streamlined operational processes—he’s comfortable from device firmware to cloud-enabled data pipelines. He also applies advanced optimization techniques (metaheuristics, linear programming, AI) to improve system efficiency, making him well-suited to tackle constrained industrial problems where hardware, connectivity and algorithms intersect.
