About
Dion
- Embedded software engineer
- dion@tweedegolf.com
Dion is an experienced Rust and embedded software developer who has worked in a lot of projects. The experience comes in the form of knowledge about a plethora of communication technologies (including LoRaWAN, LTE and UWB), a focus on well-architected code and a drive for innovation. His skills and creativity can take a project from an idea to a full product and allow him to give advice about what is possible within the given project bounds and about how to maximize the results.
Dion has created and maintains several open-source projects:
nrf-modem: An async Rust wrapper around the modem library for the nRF9160sequential-storage: A crate for storing data in flash memory with minimal need for erasing pagesdevice-driver: A toolkit to write better device drivers, faster
He has also contributed to:
statime: A PTP stack written in Rustembassy: An async runtime for embedded devices in Rustdw1000-rs: An extensive driver for the DW1000 chip
In his spare time, his creativity tends to find musical outlets. Dion plays the piano and regularly works on electronic music.

Abacus
Abacus is the new application (currently in development) to support the paper-based vote counting process for all Dutch election results and the distribution of seats.
It is being built open-source by the Dutch Electoral Council (Dutch: Kiesraad). Our engineers have joined the Electoral Council developer team for both frontend and backend development.

sequential-storage
A crate for storing data in flash memory with minimal need for erasing pages.
Used in many embedded Rust projects inside and outside of Tweede golf. It often replaces a traditional file system with its key-value map and fifo queue.

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.
Statime 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.
