Klaus Holst Jacobsen // KHJ Software Development
Senior Software Engineer & Systems Architect • M.Sc.E.E. Informatics
I am the kind of person who always takes the initiative. I always focus on delivering results on a high technical level. At the same time, I am very efficient and always strive to create value. With an M.Sc.E.E. in Informatics and over two decades of engineering excellence across build platforms, embedded devices, and distributed systems, my sense of humor and approach to work always has a positive effect on my surroundings. My engineering philosophy is rooted in action and initiative: After an initial design/analysis phase I move quickly to prototyping. Prototyping is an iterate process deeply integrated with both the analysis and design phases. 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.
