Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArthur Klassen is a staff software developer with over two decades of hands-on experience modernizing and hardening C++ systems across Linux, Windows and macOS, and a strong track record in multi-threaded, high-availability networked products. He combines deep systems-level language skills (C++11/14/17, C, Python, assembly) with pragmatic tooling and build expertise (CMake, git, cross-platform builds) to drive safer, testable code and repeatable delivery. Arthur excels at leading by example: migrating legacy codebases to modern C++, introducing CI and unit testing cultures, and designing robust remote-update and service-management infrastructure used at scale. He mentors teammates, prefers agile teams moving toward TDD, and publishes practical C++ utility libraries (ansak-string) intended to make C++ as approachable as Python for common tasks. Based in Coquitlam, BC, he blends deep technical stewardship with a collaborative, user-focused mindset that emphasizes reliability and measurable customer benefit.
