Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichel Nielsen is a pragmatic full-stack and embedded systems engineer with 11 years of experience building production software for government, identity platforms, and IoT. With a Master's in Computer Science from DTU and study time at Tohoku University, he blends formal training with hands‑on work across Clojure, Rust, AWS, and traditional stacks like .NET and MSSQL. He has delivered event‑sourced backends for Danish tax systems and contributed substantive TSC touch-sensing examples and refactors to the well-regarded embassy-rs embedded Rust framework, enabling more flexible sensor configurations. Now self‑employed after DevOps work at Criipto, he focuses on trustworthy, auditable systems that bridge legal/business domain complexity and low‑level hardware constraints. Notably, he pairs high-level distributed-system design with intimate knowledge of microcontroller peripherals—an uncommon combination that speeds prototyping to production.

Contributions summary:Michel contributed to the `embassy-rs/embassy` repository by adding examples and improvements related to the Touch Sensing Controller (TSC) peripheral on STM32 microcontrollers. Their work involved implementing both blocking and asynchronous TSC examples, specifically for the STM32L0 and STM32F3 families. Furthermore, the user refactored the TSC module, enabling the use of different pins and improved the general TSC library. This involved setting up acquisition banks and channel configuration, which enabled more complex sensor implementations.
