Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohnny Vestergaard is a versatile freelance IT consultant with 25+ years of cross-domain experience and a strong focus on embedded systems, firmware, and backend services. He combines hands-on firmware work for ARM Cortex devices and board bring-up with modern backend development in Rust, C#, C++ and occasional Go/Python scripting. As sole technical lead at his venture Vebe he built electronics, firmware and payment web services end-to-end, and he contributes to notable open-source tooling like cargo-generate (improving template handling and test automation). Comfortable moving between hardware design reviews and scalable web services, Johnny is often engaged by large industrial clients (Siemens Gamesa, Emerson, Terma) to deliver pragmatic, production-ready solutions. Based in North Denmark, he favors owning code—archiving private work while keeping truly public projects on GitHub—reflecting a pragmatic craftsperson’s approach to engineering.
