ABOUT / HENRIK VERKIST

A hands-on engineer for unfamiliar territory.

Senior Software Engineer & Technical Consultant | Founder, u9n AB

I’m most useful when the problem doesn’t fit neatly into one layer, one team, or one job description.

From the physical world to production software.

My work spans software development, systems integration, energy infrastructure and IoT. Electrician training in automation, engineering degrees in mechatronics and electrical engineering, and earlier industrial instrumentation work make field equipment and installation realities as familiar as APIs, databases and deployment.

I work hands-on and pragmatically: understand the actual constraints, choose tools for the job, build the missing connections and stay close enough to operations to know whether the system works.

Smart metering provides deep evidence, but the same approach applies to any complex production software that must bridge devices, data, users and existing business systems.

HOW I WORK

Own the difficult connections.

Discovery → architecture → development → integration → deployment → operations. I can work across the chain while staying precise about which parts I personally delivered and which were delivered by the wider business.
