Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Ijskes is a seasoned software engineer and owner with over two decades of experience building low-level and systems software, from SCADA and real-time kernels to Android apps, DSLs and compiler tooling. He combines hands-on firmware work—such as substantive contributions to the md380tools project that enhanced handheld radio firmware and internationalized UI elements—with a long-running passion for instrumentation, CI and removing repetitive error-prone work through better tools. Equally comfortable in embedded and web-deployable systems, he focuses on empowering operators and developers with the right observability and automation to find real causes of issues. A lifelong programmer who occasionally leads teams, Simon prefers creating robust software and toolchains that make deployment and testing reliable and repeatable. Outside work he pursues electronics, radio experimentation and presenting, reflecting a practical curiosity that feeds back into his engineering.
