Portrait of Herman Guijt
Haarsteeg, Nederland
Hello, I am

Herman Guijt

I realize the solution for your challenge! You have the idea and the business. I ensure that this is converted into a working system.

This can be done in several ways:

  • Complete unburdening on a project basis from conceptual idea to series in the field.
  • Or on a freelance basis.

It can also be just the embedded software, or just the electronics development.

As long as it is an embedded system with a processor, inputs and outputs!

About Me

Nice that you visit my website!

I am Herman Guijt and I develop embedded systems. When a standard solution doesn't fit, I'll work for you to realize a system that meets your requirements and wishes!

We will first explore in a non-binding conversation what suits you best: A project approach where you are completely unburdened, or whether it is better to work on a freelance basis. I will ensure that you know what to expect in advance.

Take a look at my website to learn more about my relevant education and work experience.

I hope to speak to you soon!

Approach

1. Non-binding conversation

We explore what I can do for you. We quickly get to the core by sharpening the question/need/challenge. Including impact in time and costs and contract form.

2. Choice of collaboration

Project basis: Sufficient concrete case, clarity in advance about costs, duration and functionality. Freelance: when the assignment is less clear, or when there are other reasons not to choose a project form.

3. Requirements & wishes

Mapping, reviewing and confirming all requirements.

4. Planning & quotation

Work breakdown structure with activities and durations (Gantt chart). Followed by project quotation and assignment.

5. Design

Architecture elaboration, electronics schematics & PCBA design, software design, test design and planning.

6. Realization & testing

Build and test prototype, CE certification and EMC testing, testing at end customer.

7. Production

Set up series production and release for volume.

Skills

Software Development

Implementing modular and scalable software solutions in various programming languages such as C, C++, and Python.

Embedded devices

Implementing software across a wide range of platforms: bare-metal microcontrollers, lightweight operating systems such as FreeRTOS and Zephyr RTOS, as well as Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS.

Electronics Development

Designing all electronics necessary to create a robust embedded system: Power supply, Processor, Analog IO, digital IO and buses. This for industrial environments where EMC / EMI and ESD protection is essential.

Engineering Expertise

Applying proven engineering practices such as Test Driven Development, supported by tools like GitHub, GitLab, and Jira, to ensure high-quality and efficient development processes.

Leadership & Project Management

Managing projects and leading teams with a focus on setting clear expectations, aligning stakeholders, and delivering results that meet predefined objectives.
