Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Takacs is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 9+ years building industrial controls, RFID/RTLS systems, and embedded robotics solutions across utilities, pharmaceutical, and logistics sectors. He combines hands-on firmware and software development (C#, C++, Assembly, PIC32) with large-scale systems integration experience—designing PLC/SCADA, cellular RTU networks, and ESXi-based server/VM migrations for city-wide utility deployments. A proven product engineer, he led early-stage RTLS cargo tracking (CargoCast) and helped launch seed-to-sale tracking with Metrc, while also taking a patent-pending cold-chain RFID tag from concept to production in a year. Comfortable down to RF antenna design and low-level SPI/I2C/CAN/Modbus debugging, he bridges electronics, mechanical, and software domains to deliver field-ready solutions. Now focused on autonomous manufacturing execution systems at Open Source Ecology Netherlands, he brings rare depth in both laboratory test instrumentation and operational industrial deployments. Outside work he runs a fully automated 3D printer farm and prioritizes being an involved dad—evidence of his practical, hands-on problem-solving ethos.
