Background

About Ralph Brorsen

I'm a systems-focused software engineer with 15+ years of experience building real-time tools and engines across robotics, game development, audio synthesis, and embedded systems. I specialize in C/C++ and C#, with a strong track record of designing performant, developer-friendly systems that bridge high-level workflows with low-level capabilities. I care deeply about tools as a creative interface to complex technology. I've seen powerful technologies go unused because their tools didn't empower users. My work focuses on building the kinds of systems and APIs that unlock creativity with minimal friction. Past roles include: • Tech Lead at Universal Robots – Major contributions to control system, user interface and AI Accelerator product • Engineer on Unity’s Scripting Team – Re-architected core C++/C# bindings and helped shape Unity’s public API. • Founder of Straightarrow – Developed Quiver, a commercial audio plugin, and consulted in embedded systems. Outside of work, I'm a longtime demoscene contributor under the handle revival/fnuque, where I build procedural graphics tools and real-time audiovisual systems. I'm also currently designing a custom software synthesizer for use in executable music and 64k intros. Always curious, always building. Open to collaboration on deep technical problems—especially where tooling meets creative potential.
