Frans Schreuder is an Electronic Engineer with 15 years' experience designing RF and mixed-signal systems, VHDL firmware, and microcontroller-based tools from concept to production. Based in Almere, he combines institutional research work at NIKHEF with entrepreneurial engineering as founder of Schreuder Electronics, home of the open-source usbpicprog project. Frans has hands-on experience adding new RF components and simulator integrations to Qucs, contributing C++ implementations like a microstrip Lange coupler and resolving complex merges across the Qucs-S codebase. His background spans radio astronomy and accelerator labs, where he led analog/RF designs and managed projects, reflecting a blend of deep technical craft and pragmatic project delivery. Colleagues value his ability to move between low-level hardware, firmware, and software toolchains while keeping open-source stewardship front and center.
