Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrans Klaver is a senior robot software engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building Linux-based systems in robotics and embedded domains. He has deep expertise in C/C++ and kernel work—several of his patches are merged into the upstream Linux tree—and has shipped platform, bootloader and middleware code for companies like TomTom and Xsens. At Xsens he influenced API and architecture for SDKs and motion-capture tools, and implemented sensor-fusion algorithms for embedded platforms. More recently he spent nearly a decade at Mobile Viewpoint and now applies that platform and real-time systems experience to robotic products at Loop Robots. Known as a puzzle-driven problem solver, Frans prioritizes explaining complex technical topics clearly to non-specialists. Based in North Holland, he combines practical engineering with a steady appetite for learning and low-level systems craftsmanship.
