Dimitrios Platis
I call myself a Software Engineer and a Maker. During the days I hack on embedded systems of all shapes and sizes. Having worked on systems running Yocto Linux and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) I am very passionate about software architecture and clean code being the enablers for high quality, reusability, and maintainability. Consequently, I incorporate this mindset and principles into my way of working as I believe they are fundamental for agility and effectiveness.
Currently, I am employed by Zenseact in Gothenburg, Sweden, enabling autonomous drive for the next generation vehicles.
Usually, I spend my evenings on open source projects which I blog about. My favorite ones revolve around IoT, robotics and handheld gadgets where I love to develop the entire product stack. Hardware-wise, this includes everything from the PCB to the physical case around the electronics and software, from the embedded firmware to the cloud. Lately, I have also gotten into creating YouTube tutorials about software craftsmanship with C++ and embedded systems.
Last but not least, I teach the undergraduate DIT112 course on Systems Development as well as the DIT598 graduate course on Software Evolution at the University of Gothenburg.
