Senior C++/Linux engineer crafting low-latency, multithreaded systems for automotive, AI, and financial platforms.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 14+ years designing and developing high-performance C++ applications for automotive, AI, and financial systems on Linux platforms. I lean on strong software architecture, data structures and algorithms, and object-oriented design, and I’m deeply comfortable building thread-safe, low-latency systems with modern C++ concurrency. I’ve also contributed patented expertise in NLU systems, real-time audio processing, and Android platform development (AOSP, HAL).
In recent roles, I designed and implemented an AIDL Audio HAL using C++17, AOSP, and Soong, and I configured SELinux policies to secure inter-process communication. At SoundHound AI, I built C++ for voice and text query interpretation, helped invent a patented technique for concurrent speech processing and full-duplex interaction, and owned end-to-end delivery while mentoring junior engineers. Across my career, I’ve used Agile/Scrum delivery, TDD, CI/CD workflows, and performance profiling to drive quality and continuous improvement.
