Summary
🤩
RockstarJohn Simons is an entrepreneurial engineer and founder with a decade of experience translating software skills into hardware and electronics innovation. As owner and lead consultant at Totalitee, he has mentored engineers and delivered projects for notable clients (including Bose and other NDA-bound companies), then pivoted to open-source oscilloscope and EDA work that led to collaborations with Original Circuit LLC and current marketing/consulting for JITX. He focuses on the convergence of high-speed hardware, AI, and software-defined PCB design to enable reusable, correct-by-design high-performance circuits. Based in Maastricht, he combines hands-on technical development with creative marketing and instructional initiatives to help software-trained and early-career engineers build terabit-capable hardware using smarter EDA tools. An unusual strength is his path from code mentoring to open-source hardware libraries and industry partnerships, positioning him to bridge disciplines and accelerate adoption of AI-driven EDA.
