I trained as an electronics engineer. In practice I do more than that.

I am Jaron van der Velden. I studied electrical engineering at HAN in Arnhem and have been working on technical products since 2017. First measurement prototypes for defence at Microflown Avisa, then wireless controls at Inspiro, six years of audio electronics at IAH (the company behind Siltech), and electric drivetrains for bicycles at VanRaam.

I noticed that with small products it almost never goes wrong in the electronics or the mechanics themselves. It goes wrong where those two meet: a board that does not quite fit, or a sensor the firmware makes the wrong assumption about. So I deliberately widened what I do. That way I can solve that kind of thing myself, and build it too.

I like working on things that still have to be worked out. A device that does not exist yet, or a measurement problem with no solution yet. Projects I can take from start to finish on my own, where something working stands at the end.

Besides engineering I play and work with music. That is where my interest in acoustics and amplifiers comes from.
