What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build robust C++ software using specifications, modern tooling, and AI-assisted engineering, while contributing algorithms, verification, and mentorship.

I'm building Universal Device Configurator at Synopsys using C++23, CMake, Windows, and spec-driven development, integrating GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude into daily engineering work. I develop specifications, processing algorithms, and software-in-the-loop tests, while helping junior engineers with C++23, CMake, and the SDD workflow.

Previously, I kept Coverity SAST checkers current and contributed to its Qualification Kit at Synopsys. At Applied Materials, I delivered C++ semiconductor manufacturing tool software for customers including Intel, TSMC, and Samsung; at Continental, I built Galactio offline navigation capabilities including Google Places Search with Push2Car, traffic-data handling, multithreaded error handling, and the ROAD CLOSED module.
