Independent engineering consultant

Engineering that works.

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

Four fields. One technical point of contact.

Bring me in for one discipline or specifically where disciplines meet. You keep one point of contact for both advice and delivery.

01

Mechanical Engineering

From concept development and machine design to focused support with practical technical challenges.

  • Concept & design
  • Machines & equipment
  • Technical development
  • Prototypes & one-offs
02

Software Development

Custom software, engineering tools, and integrations shaped around the technology, users, and workflow.

  • Custom applications
  • Engineering tools
  • System integration
03

Process Automation

Connecting machines, controls, and data to make processes easier to operate, understand, and manage.

  • Process control
  • Equipment & data
  • Automation integration
04

Servers & Networking

Project-based support for setting up, replacing, and maintaining servers and networks, including migrations and troubleshooting.

  • New server setup
  • Replacement & migration
  • Configuration & maintenance
  • Troubleshooting & diagnostics

Connected engineering

The best solution often sits between the disciplines.

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.

01

Physical + digital

Considering mechanics, sensors, control logic, and software together from the start.

02

Design + delivery

Translating technical choices into a solution that can actually be built and used.

03

Automation + insight

Turning process data into something useful for operation, diagnosis, and improvement.

Approach

From technical challenge to workable solution.

01

Understand

Clarify the objective, context, and technical constraints first.

02

Design

Evaluate the options and turn the right technical route into a concrete plan.

03

Deliver

Build, integrate, and verify with close attention to real-world use.

About

One consultant. Direct contact. Clear decisions.

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.

  • Advice and execution
  • Flexible capacity
  • Cross-disciplinary perspective

Contact

A technical challenge? Let’s discuss it.

Tell me briefly what you are working on. I’ll get back to you to discuss whether and how I can help.
