Summary
Alejandro Olvera is a software engineer specializing in hardware-software co-design, embedded systems, and high-performance computing, with nine years of hands-on experience spanning academia and defense. Currently at Lockheed Martin he serves as a subject-matter expert on Pilot Vehicle Interface technology, leading cross-team adoption of a new PVI architecture and delivering mission-critical C/C++ systems with 100% unit test coverage. He combines embedded Linux, RTOS, FPGA, and IoT expertise with full-stack tooling—CMake, VCPKG, Python, Qt, Django, Kubernetes and MPI—to bridge low-level firmware and scalable cloud-native workflows. At the University of North Texas he built curriculum-supporting servers, in-house apps, and mentored capstone teams, demonstrating a knack for turning academic research into production-ready infrastructure. Known as a “regular fixer upper,” he favors pragmatic, test-driven designs and rapid prototyping to reduce integration overhead. Based in Denton, Texas, he’s pursuing a PhD while continuing to ship robust, well-architected systems in safety-critical environments.
