Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBertold Van Den Bergh is a co-founder and Principal Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-reliability networking and embedded systems for maritime and aerial autonomy. He holds a PhD from KU Leuven in wireless communications and modem design for safety-critical UAV systems and combines that research depth with hands-on FPGA, RF hardware and embedded Linux development. As CTO/Co-founder of MAHI he led the creation of situational awareness solutions for unmanned surface vessels and earlier helped build the first solar-powered autonomous surface vessel for an Atlantic crossing. His background spans firmware and middleware in C/C++, Go and JS, physical-layer FPGA cores for satellite and SDR platforms, and product-grade embedded systems for medical and industrial customers. Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges academic rigor and practical engineering—able to move from RF front-ends to cloud-connected firmware—and who has repeatedly turned ambitious autonomy concepts into fielded prototypes. Based in Antwerp, he blends microelectronics training with entrepreneurial drive to tackle real-world autonomy and connectivity challenges.
