Background

About Niklas D.

My primary expertise is software engineering using C/C++/JAVA/Rust/Python but I've also worked with Clojure. I enjoy writing high performance, easy to use, applications and services. I also like digging into problems until I fully understand them and coming up with clever solutions. The applications I've worked with so far has been particle physics control systems, kernel sorting with machine vision, blockchain hardware wallets and banking back-ends. The solutions have often included working out good APIs and optimizing for high performance.In extension to systems programming I'm passionate about coaching/teaching and open source software in general. I know that I've learned immensely by reading open source code and from contributing to OSS projects.Since I've been working mostly in C or C++ I have extensive experience with them, but I think that the future is with memory-safe languages using zero-overhead abstractions and modern language constructs. Therefore I've spent a significant time with Rust since its stable release in 2015 on side projects. In the rest of my spare time I like to disconnect and enjoy the nature through climbing, cycling, kite surfing, snowboarding or with a plain jog on a nearby hill.If you have any questions about what I do or about me, please write me a message!
