Senior🎓
Top SchoolAttila Fehér is a senior software engineer based in New York with over three decades of hands-on experience and 11 years at Bloomberg building core C++ infrastructure. He specializes in multiparadigm and generic C++ library programming, systems design, and hard-to-trace troubleshooting, and is credited as an author of C++11 alignment features. Comfortable operating at the library and compiler-adjacent level, he contributes to foundational projects such as Bloomberg’s BDE, focusing on low-level correctness and portability across compilers. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and business-aware, marrying deep technical rigor with an appreciation for maintainability, observability and real-world constraints. He’s selective about engagements—seeking roles that truly need his niche expertise rather than generalist work.
