ABOUT ME
Senior C++ Software Engineer
Senior C++ Software Engineer
I am a programmer with 10+ years of experience in the field. My main skills are C++ programming and Test-Driven Development. I graduated at the University of Bologna with a score of 110/100 cum laude. After my Master's degree I have been a PhD student for two years. I interrupted my studies in 2007.
I have a passion for quality and excellence. I like solving interesting problems and applying my creativity to the design of high-quality code that works. I like keeping up to date with the evolution of the C++ language. I attended CppCon in 2015 and 2018 (Seattle), Meeting C++ in 2016 (Berlin) and ACCU in 2017 (Bristol). I wrote a draft of a proposal for what I call Virtual Concepts (https://github.com/andyprowl/virtual-concepts).
I have worked at FEI Company (now Thermofisher) from 2008 to 2016 as a Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer writing (non-embedded) software for controlling electron microscopes.
I have been working as a Senior Software Design Engineer at Honeywell since 2017, where I design and develop back-end software for flight planning and flight optimization solutions. I have been awarded the Outstanding Engineer Award in 2018.
I am a fast learner and an eager reader. I can speak Italian (mother tongue), English (advanced) and Slovak (advanced). I understand Czech (advanced).
I love playing music (piano, guitar), singing, swimming and cooking.
