Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoakim Larsson is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building embedded and automation systems, currently driving software delivery and subject-matter expertise at Getinge in Falkenberg, Sweden. He combines a mechatronics background from Chalmers with hands-on roles across automation, HMI development, testing and commissioning, which gives him a practical systems perspective from hardware to firmware. At Getinge he has progressed from software engineer to SME and senior engineer, shaping product reliability in regulated medical environments. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed low-level flash device support to the widely used MAME emulator, showing a taste for low-level reverse-engineering and legacy-system integration. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and technically curious—summed up by his GitHub motto, "Just because I can"—which drives him to solve tricky corner cases others might avoid.
