About

Nearly 40 years inside the machine

I started writing software for mobile telephone systems back when NMT and TACS were the state of the art, as a software engineer at Dancall Radio A/S. From there I followed the industry through the GSM era, into DECT wireless systems at CorTech A/S, and for the past three decades as Senior Project Engineer at RTX A/S in Aalborg — one of the world's leading names in DECT and wireless communication technology.

That's a rare vantage point: I've watched entire generations of wireless and embedded technology rise, mature, and get replaced — and written the low-level software for several of them. Brodersen.blue is how that experience is now available directly to companies who need it, on a freelance basis, without the overhead of a large consultancy.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time, so every client gets senior attention from someone who has actually shipped embedded products — not just talked about them.

Services

What I can help with

Focused, hands-on embedded software engineering — from a first prototype to a production-grade firmware audit.

Firmware & driver development

C/C++ firmware for microcontrollers and embedded Linux, including low-level drivers, bootloaders and board bring-up.

📡

Wireless & telecom protocols

Deep, practical experience with DECT and mobile telecom protocols, from legacy NMT/TACS to GSM-era systems.

RTOS & real-time systems

Design, implementation and debugging of real-time embedded systems where timing, power and reliability matter.

🔍

Code review & technical audits

An experienced, outside perspective on existing firmware — architecture reviews, debugging support, performance audits.

🧪

Prototyping & proof of concept

Fast, pragmatic prototypes that validate a hardware/software concept before you commit to full-scale development.

📚

Legacy system support

Maintenance and modernization of older embedded and telecom codebases — expertise fewer engineers still carry.

Experience

A career built inside embedded systems

From the earliest mobile telephone networks to modern DECT and wireless products.
