I am Matteo Dardani, a Senior C++/Qt Engineer with over 4 years of experience building mission-critical, high-performance systems in aerospace and defense. I specialize in C++17/20, Qt5/6, and concurrency and performance optimization. I enjoy solving complex optimization problems and delivering reliable software in distributed teams. In my roles at TXT E-TECH and MBDA, I have driven performance improvements (up to 50% faster computations) and improved reliability by boosting test coverage and CI pipelines, while contributing to planning modules used across international aerospace programs. I thrive in remote, cross-cultural collaboration across Europe and am adept at delivering milestones on time in distributed environments.
