Raffael Kaas – Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Raffael – a software engineer living at Lake Constance, working in the automotive industry. I hold a Master of Engineering with a focus on autonomous systems. Over the past few years, I've worked on a wide range of complex software projects – from building my own quadrocopter during university, to launching autonomous shuttles in Rotterdam, and now developing series production software for power converters in e-mobility.

I enjoy working on a Linux-based system, using C/C++ for embedded software development and Python to make life easier or to quickly prototype ideas. I’ve worked on many projects using ROS on high-performance computers, but I also have a lot of hands-on experience with microcontrollers and low-level debugging.

Outside of engineering, I’m usually in motion — whether I’m running, playing soccer, or lifting heavy weights. Besides sports, I have a strong interest in finance and investing, and enjoy diving into new ideas through books, travel, or meaningful conversations.
