Senior🎓
Top SchoolArthur Freda is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with nine years of professional software experience and a dual background in computer science and fine arts. He architects and ships full-stack systems—including HIPAA-conscious medical platforms with C# ASP.NET backends and cross-platform mobile apps leveraging custom OpenGL UIs—while managing security, partner relationships, and cloud operations on Azure. A longtime contributor to game engine tooling, he notably modernized the OpenGL rendering backend for the SRB2 project by replacing legacy glBegin/glEnd patterns with VBOs to boost rendering performance. His career spans government systems redesigns (USDA/APHIS), cross-platform game and app development, and entrepreneur-led product delivery, reflecting a blend of low-level graphics optimization and high-level product and compliance thinking. Collected skills in C/C++, C#, graphics, and systems integration let him bridge creative design and engineering to deliver practical, auditable solutions.
