Work Experience

Software Engineer - C++ / C# - Rendering at TomTom
February 1, 2024 - Present
Engineered key parts of TomTom’s cross-platform real-time map rendering engine, powering visual and routing layers in navigation products. Contributed to performance and correctness of the routing display system, fixing bugs related to incident display logic, traffic color mapping, and instruction symbols for over 20 production issues. Diagnosed and resolved real-world navigation issues based on user feedback and integration tests. Worked across C++, OpenGL, Metal (iOS), and Unity to support map and instruction rendering under strict performance constraints. Integrated the C++ engine into the Kotlin/Java-based Android app using JNI, enabling efficient rendering of real-time routes, traffic, and labels. Improved rendering pipeline throughput and reduced frame drops on mid-range devices by optimizing memory layout and CPU-GPU communication. Contributed to core debugging tooling, logging, and system health monitoring via adb, logcat, and internal test suites. Participated in Agile sprin
