About
Tamme
- Embedded software engineer
- tamme@tweedegolf.com
Tamme literally biked to his first day at Tweede golf from Vienna, because it was more efficient than going by train.
He likes it when things just work. He enjoys a deep-dive into the requirements of a project, prioritizes quality over quantity, and - believe it or not - he can write his own documentation well.
With both an educational and professional background in industrial applications of embedded software, Tamme's experience stretches from FPGAs to Industrial automation protocols.
When he isn't working (or biking who knows where...), you may find him bouldering or honing his photography skills.

Implementing NTPv5 in ntpd-rs
Open-source work
ntpd-rs
ntpd-rs is an open-source implementation of the Network Time Protocol completely written in Rust, with a focus on exposing a minimal attack surface. This video explains how ntpd-rs brings NTP into the modern era.
The project was initially funded by ISRG's Prossimo, as part of their mission to achieve memory safety for the Internet's most critical infrastructure. The NTP initiative page on Prossimo's website tells the story.
ntpd-rs is part of Project Pendulum. In July of 2023 the Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Pendulum, securing development and maintenance in 2023, and maintenance and adoption work in 2024.
Statime
Statime is an initiative of Tweede golf, an open-source implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in Rust.
High-precision timing is part of crucial networking infrastructure. With Statime we provide a memory-safe alternative for existing implementations.
The first milestones of the project were kindly co-funded by the NLnet Foundation.
