About
Henk
- Embedded software engineer
- henk@tweedegolf.com
Henk is our embedded Rust expert. He has worked on IoT products like an industrial tracking sensor and a heart rate monitoring device for Glanum Medical. He started at TG as a back-end developer, but his heart was always in embedded. The more he could tinker, the better.
It has proven a challenge to satiate Henk's thirst for knowledge and so now, he does what many curious people aspire to do: he teaches, for example workshops on (embedded) Rust. Henk is the creator and maintainer of teach-rs
(formerly Rust 101), open-source teaching materials to introduce the language to students of Computer Science.
It's a wonder Henk has any spare time, having chosen to combine his newfound teaching career and his embedded developer job with going back to school himself. He likes to ride his motorcycle when he can, or tinker on it when he can´t (he's recently made a plan on how to have at least one piece of Rust software running on his bike...). When he's done teaching himself, or us, or our clients, he somehow has heaps of energy left for his kids too.
And whenever he has trouble sleeping? Henk enjoys reading articles about Rust, as many as he can find.

teach-rs
teach-rs, formerly Rust 101, is a collection of modular teaching materials to build a university course for computer science students, introducing the Rust Programming Language. It is open source and thus available to anyone who wants to teach Rust.
It is governed by the Trifecta Tech Foundation.
