What I'm looking for

Solving problems and creating results while having fruitful collaboration with the team. Honest and direct communication to help each other delivering and hence creating a positive productive time for all. All this may touch the fields of high-performance computing, graphics/math, optimization, game theory, connectivity, storage, embedded and other areas.

I possess over three decades of experience in software engineering and have a passion for creating solutions, iterating from design to deployment until success, taking responsibility and often leading the effort. I am at home in computer graphics & multimedia, applied math, cryptography, driver development, algorithms and high performance solutions, from complete POSIX systems to bare-metal embedded devices.
