What I'm looking for

A fully remote senior C++ role in a European time zone, working on performance-critical or real-time systems: GPU inference and CUDA/TensorRT optimization, computer vision or perception pipelines, robotics, or Qt/QML applications. I enjoy owning architecture and making systems measurably faster. Open to employee, EOR or contractor (Italian VAT) arrangements.

Senior C++ Software Engineer with six years of experience in performance-critical, real-time systems.

At DMA (Plasser Diagnostics, Plasser & Theurer Group) I lead the architecture of a real-time video inspection framework for railway infrastructure, now being brought to high-speed train inspection. I redesigned it from a thread-per-stage pipeline into a DAG-based execution model (Taskflow) with GPU-aware scheduling, delivering roughly 2-3x per-GPU inference throughput, and scaled the TensorRT inference layer across up to 4 GPUs (~4.6x throughput, ~99% GPU utilization). I also led the redesign of the catenary wear measurement product (Qt/QML UI, from a single wire to up to 8 wires), now moving to line-scan cameras at up to 5 kHz.

Previously at ALTEN, as a consultant for Leonardo Aircraft Division, I built C++/Qt HMI applications and a flight and mission simulation model for avionics. Earlier, at ALTEC, I built a terrain-adaptive kinematics module for planetary exploration robots (ROS/Gazebo).
