Rust & C++ Systems Architect | Embedded, Cross-Platform, Desktop

I architect and build high-performance software where speed, reliability, and low-level control actually matter, in Rust and C++, from cross-platform desktop apps to embedded firmware, kernel drivers, and shipped products. With 10+ years in systems and desktop engineering, I don't just implement tickets. I own architecture end to end: CPU and memory optimization, concurrency and threading, network protocols, and cross-platform delivery across macOS, Windows, and Linux. As founder of Pigon Technology, I've shipped in-production products spanning desktop applications, USB hardware companions, embedded/IoT devices, and privacy-first AI tools. That work often touches firmware, drivers, GUI, and backend inside a single project. What I do best: - Systems & desktop: Rust, C++/Qt, cross-platform (macOS/Windows/Linux), GPU & 3D (OpenGL, Metal, CUDA) - Embedded & real-time: RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), bare-metal, kernel & driver development, ESP32/STM32/NRF/Renesas, BLE & Wi-Fi - Low-level & networking: memory management, socket programming, custom & secure protocols, USB HID - Backend when it counts: Node.js, REST/gRPC APIs, high-performance services I deliver clean, tested, well-documented code and clear, proactive communication. If you need someone who can design the system and build the hard parts, let's talk.
