What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles building reliable, real-time systems in multidisciplinary teams, with opportunities for technical leadership and long-term architecture influence.

I am a senior software engineer with over 10 years designing, implementing, and integrating complex software systems, especially for medical high-tech products. I focus on software architecture, behaviour modelling, and building maintainable, scalable system components.

At Vitestro I led the design and implementation of decision-making and workflow control for an autonomous venipuncture robot, architecting an HTN-based behavioural control framework and delivering C++ and Python systems spanning control, sensing, simulation, and data analysis. I drove system-level performance improvements, collaborated with multidisciplinary teams, and mentored engineers to align technical vision.

Earlier roles include developing control and diagnostic software for MRI systems and embedded Linux/DSP work for SDK products. I bring deep experience in real-time systems, robotics, AI planning, computer vision, and cross-component interface design, with a strong emphasis on test-driven development and long-term technical roadmapping.
