Henri Appeldoorn
At Sirris, I help companies turn their ideas and technical challenges into practical, reliable and industrial-ready solutions. I work on projects at the intersection of mechatronics, embedded electronics, software and materials, taking a pragmatic and multidisciplinary approach.
I support companies in making technology choices, developing innovative connected prototypes and solving complex technical challenges. I also ensure that the resulting developments can be fully leveraged by the company, including through the transfer of intellectual property.
Are you developing a new product or looking for a solution to a multidisciplinary technical challenge? I would be happy to discuss how I can help.

Professional motto
"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality." – Nikola Tesla
Fun fact
Outside work, I enjoy activities that require precision and craftsmanship, such as jewellery making and watchmaking. I have also been flying FPV drones and model aircraft since childhood.
