Summary
Guillaume Audirac is a skilled carpenter based in Caen, Normandy, who transitioned from a 20+ year engineering career into traditional timber framing with the cooperative Les Chantiers de Demain. Before retraining, he spent nearly two decades at NXP and Philips leading embedded software, RF validation and digital TV projects, bringing deep expertise in low-level C, IoT gateways, and wireless protocols like Zigbee and BLE. This blend of precision engineering and hands-on craftsmanship means he approaches carpentry with systems thinking, practical problem-solving and rigorous measurement. He holds an engineering degree in electronics and completed formal carpentry training at GRETA Côtes Normandes, underscoring a deliberate, well-planned career pivot. Notably, his background includes international field work and project leadership on high-volume RF ASICs, a rare depth of electronics experience for a practicing timber framer. He excels at bridging durable traditional techniques with methodical, technical rigor.
