Summary
Frank Vanbever is an embedded software engineer and company owner with 13 years of experience building everything from bare-metal RTOS and Linux kernel drivers to platform-level architecture for AGV robotics and fleet management. He blends hands-on low-level expertise (board bring-up, kernel/ALSA drivers, Buildroot/Yocto) with systems thinking and light DevOps/front-end work, enabling him to shepherd projects from prototype to scalable platform. As a consultant and technical lead across aerospace, telecom and industrial robotics, he’s comfortable both debugging kernel drivers and negotiating customer requirements. Based in Brussels, he founded FunkWorks to tackle complex embedded architectures and quietly experiments with building audio effects—his electrical-engineering origins that led him into software. Known for clear communication and pragmatic problem-solving, he often acts as the bridge between hardware realities and software architectures.
