Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRonald Landheer-cieslak is a seasoned software engineering manager with 14+ years building high-performance C++ systems for utility grid automation, cloud and DevSecOps at Eaton and as founder of Vlinder Software. He blends hands-on low-level protocol expertise—demonstrated by contributions to the widely used open-source DNP3 stack—with product ownership of embedded grid products and leadership of secure-authentication work at the DNP Users Group. Comfortable designing both large-scale distributed architectures and the precise internals that make them reliable, he excels at parallel and systems-of-systems problems. He also brings an entrepreneurial mindset from founding firms and a scientific curiosity rooted in a molecular biology degree, which helps him approach engineering problems analytically and creatively.
