Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Van Der Schoot is a software architect with 14 years of experience who specializes in turning complex embedded and cloud systems into reliable, high-performance products. Rooted in an Electrical Engineering background, he blends low-level firmware, FPGA and microcontroller design with higher-level architecture work—optimizing C++ CAD analysis, designing motor-inverter firmware, and migrating monoliths to serverless event-driven platforms. He has a track record of improving system efficiency through physics-based modelling and control strategies, and of accelerating development by creating reusable abstractions and testing frameworks. Comfortable across the stack, Steven also implements CI/CD-driven deployments (ArgoCD) and real-time control loops, making him equally at home in hardware-constrained embedded systems and cloud-native architectures. Uncommonly for a software architect, he frequently dives into the physical layer of the systems he designs, ensuring software abstractions reflect hardware realities.
