Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKarsten König is a Hardware Verification Engineer based in Trondheim with eight years of experience building reliable, low-level software for embedded and IoT systems. He is fluent in C++ and Java on Linux/POSIX platforms and focuses on finding and eliminating architectural flaws, optimizing performance, and designing robust features. His background spans firmware leadership at consumer neurotech and senior embedded roles in connected-bike systems, now applied to hardware verification at Nordic Semiconductor. Active in the nRF Connect SDK, he contributes cache and power-management improvements and prioritizes code quality by eliminating warnings and dead variables. Curious about operating system internals, software security, and network stacks, he brings a systems-minded perspective that surfaces subtle cross-layer issues before they reach production.
