Gelderland, Netherlands
Summary
👤
SeniorRuurd Adema is a Principal Developer with 11 years of experience building low-latency, reliable real-time media systems using C++ and Rust, focused on networking, streaming, and cross-platform audio architecture. He designs and implements core infrastructure for professional audio workflows—authoring RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110/PTPv2/NMOS stacks (RAVENNAKIT) and shipping products like Mix to Mobile—so teams bring him in to de-risk migrations or resolve stability and performance bottlenecks. Comfortable shipping both embedded drivers and high-level plugins, he has delivered virtual audio drivers for macOS, DAW plugins (AU/VST3/AAX), and integrations for broadcast consoles. He pairs hands-on systems development with architectural coaching for engineering leaders, setting durable patterns rather than quick fixes. Based in Gelderland, Netherlands, he blends pro-audio field experience (live FOH and broadcast mixing) with deep protocol-level engineering—helpful when production constraints collide with protocol realities.
