Waifu Beater
@waifubeater
Senior systems integration engineer specializing in real-time embedded software, low-latency video/telemetry, and robust C/C++ architectures.
What I'm looking for
I’m a systems development and integration engineer with 9+ years of experience delivering production-grade real-time systems across embedded, robotics, industrial automation, and broadcast video processing. My focus is diagnostics, reliability, performance, and integrating complex (often legacy) technical systems end-to-end.
In my current role, I designed an XML-based QA DSL and built a distributed multi-client execution system for medical device validation workflows, increasing QA pipeline throughput by 50–70%. I also implemented an MQTT-based orchestration layer and a deterministic, multi-threaded lock-free signal validation pipeline capable of processing 2MB/s raw data.
Previously, I modernized embedded Linux and low-level components, built REST APIs and backend integration layers, and worked across Linux/Windows in distributed teams. I’ve also implemented low-latency SD/HD-SDI 10/12-bit video decoding/demultiplexing, and developed embedded boot/driver-level infrastructure for hardware platforms, with a strong emphasis on protocol compliance and high-performance architectures.
