Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWalter Goossens is a systems architect and founder with 15 years’ experience solving embedded Linux and FPGA challenges, now freelancing through his company Creative Embedded. He pairs deep hardware-software intuition with a minimalist design aesthetic, favoring simple, elegant solutions to problems that often span firmware, drivers and custom logic. His background includes long-term system architecture at Axon Digital Design and a steady string of freelance FPGA and embedded software engagements, demonstrating fluency across product cycles from prototype to production. Also active as a sound engineer, he brings creativity and an eye (and ear) for design that helps products gain that “something extra.” Based in Beilen, Netherlands, he treats engineering as an artform—seeking the optimal trade-off between hardware and software rather than defaulting to one.
