Independent engineering consultant
I’m Tom Lievense. As an independent consultant, I connect mechanical engineering, software development, process automation, and technical IT infrastructure into solutions that work in practice.

Expertise
Bring me in for one discipline or specifically where disciplines meet. You keep one point of contact for both advice and delivery.
From concept development and machine design to focused support with practical technical challenges.
Custom software, engineering tools, and integrations shaped around the technology, users, and workflow.
Connecting machines, controls, and data to make processes easier to operate, understand, and manage.
Project-based support for setting up, replacing, and maintaining servers and networks, including migrations and troubleshooting.

Connected engineering
A machine, its controls, software, and technical infrastructure form one technical system. Looking at that chain as a whole creates solutions whose parts genuinely work together.
Considering mechanics, sensors, control logic, and software together from the start.
Translating technical choices into a solution that can actually be built and used.
Turning process data into something useful for operation, diagnosis, and improvement.
Approach
Clarify the objective, context, and technical constraints first.
Evaluate the options and turn the right technical route into a concrete plan.
Build, integrate, and verify with close attention to real-world use.

About
You work directly with me: the engineer who thinks through the problem and carries out the technical work.
I support teams that need additional capacity, a broad technical perspective, or focused help with a defined challenge. I work independently where possible and alongside your team where that works better.
