Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWouter Van Boesschoten is a hands-on engineering leader with 11 years of experience scaling teams and shipping embedded TV and STB software at companies like Comcast and Metrological. He led the development and release of Lightning 2.0 and 3.0, unifying multiple stacks into a single high-performance monorepo and delivering production TV apps under tight constraints. Equally comfortable in the trenches writing code, reviewing PRs and setting benchmarks, he specializes in low-power device optimizations, WPEWebKit, Yocto integrations and complex middleware such as RDK. Known for transforming fragmented teams into motivated, high-performing crews, he grows influence by cross-pollinating ideas and code rather than relying on org charts. Based in Breda, Netherlands, he brings an electrical engineering background and a taste for breaking corporate norms to build pragmatic, resilient systems where others see impossible limitations.
