Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWouter Deprez is a software engineer with six years of professional experience specializing in embedded systems and IoT, currently driving engineering work at Nokia from Ghent, Belgium. He holds an MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Ghent University and moved from hands-on embedded firmware work at Nalys into platform-focused engineering at a major telecom vendor. An active open-source contributor, he has enhanced the widely used RIOT OS by integrating LWIP for STM32, adding Ethernet support for Nucleo boards and implementing drivers and test apps for sensors like the BH1900NUX. Wouter combines low-level MCU expertise with networking stacks, IPv4 support and practical hardware bring-up, making him comfortable across firmware, drivers and IoT connectivity. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented and pragmatic, often catching style and integration issues before they reach production. He brings a blend of academic training and production experience that helps bridge hardware constraints and scalable embedded software.
