About 12Solve
I’m Ralph van Oorschot, owner and only employee of 12Solve. I have a background in Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering.With well over 10 years’ experience in multidisciplinary system development and System Architecting, it has provided me both a solid theoretical background and a practical hands-on approach.
In 2018 I started as a freelancer where I help companies in complex system development projects in the Eindhoven area. I can take the role of a lead System Architect for machine development projects such as automation, (high accuracy) assembly/production machines and test equipment. But also professionalizing their Product Creation Process, take the role of a critical technical reviewer or just help with projects that are technically stuck and need a fresh outsider view.
Feel free to contact me when you have a challenging question.
compentences
System Architecture
- Proven experience as technical lead in multidisciplinair project development
- The linking-pin between disciplines such as software, mechanics, electronics and physics
- Creative, out of the box thinker with a very pragmatic attitude
