Software Engineer with Experience and Energy
Klaus Holst Jacobsen • KHJ Software Development (CVR: 43154907) • M.Sc.E.E. Informatics
I am a software engineer and platform architect with over two decades of hands-on engineering excellence. I hold an M.Sc.E.E. in Informatics (Intelligent Multimedia) from Aalborg University with a 10.0 grade average (13-scale). Throughout my career — across Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, Lyngsoe Systems, Digianswer (Motorola), and KMD — I have architected modular build platforms, led global RFID platform implementations, and integrated mission-critical systems tracking over 100 million pieces of airport baggage annually.
My engineering philosophy is rooted in action and initiative: I would rather make a prototype and throw it away than spend too much time over-analyzing a problem. I always focus on delivering results at a high technical standard while remaining very efficient to create tangible value. With a constructive approach and a positive sense of humor, I bring both technical rigor and great momentum to the teams I work with.
In 2022, I established KHJ Software Development (CVR: 43154907) to partner directly with engineering organizations and technology leaders as a senior consultant for build platform modernization (CMake/Conan), CI/CD automation, and modern C++ platform architecture.
Action & Prototyping
I would rather build a prototype and throw it away than use too much time over-analyzing a problem. Rapid practical exploration reveals real constraints faster than theory.
High Technical Quality & Efficiency
I always focus on delivering results at a high technical standard. At the same time, I work very efficiently to create tangible value and long-term architectural stability.
Rapid Engagement with New Domains
I have an excellent ability to engage quickly with new technical domains — whether building modular build platforms for turbine software or deploying global RFID systems.
Positive Energy & Culture
A positive attitude, constructive dialogue, and a good sense of humor keep engineering momentum high, especially through complex project phases.
Modern C++ & Software Platform Architecture
Designing modular software platforms, object-oriented systems (GoF patterns), high-performance C++ applications, and reusable platform components.
Build Systems & Package Management
Modernizing legacy build platforms using CMake and Conan for 3rd-party package handling, hermetic dependency management, and reproducible builds.
Continuous Delivery & DevOps Pipelines
Designing and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI and Jenkins, automated testing rigs, and rapid developer feedback loops.
Embedded Devices, RFID & Data-Capture Systems
Platform architecture for data capture, RFID tag reading, industrial protocols (MQTT), and systems handling millions of items globally.
Engagement & Contract Terms
I engage via time-and-materials contracts. All intellectual property (IP), source code, documentation, and tooling remain 100% owned by the client upon delivery. I integrate directly into your existing communication channels (Slack, Teams, Git repositories, Jira) to ensure seamless day-to-day coordination.
