Senior🎓
Top SchoolBela Babik is a Staff Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 19 years of cross-platform C/C++ expertise, specializing in video, digital media and high-throughput client/server systems. He has led teams of 5–10 engineers and driven end-to-end projects from bootstrapping cross-platform builds to release and support, including device drivers, media libraries and video export pipelines. His recent work at Canva and Snapchat centers on low-latency, high-availability video processing and export, blending systems-level performance engineering with modern tooling like Rust, Wasm and Bazel. Comfortable across Windows, Linux and macOS, he pairs deep platform knowledge (Objective-C/Cocoa, Qt, OpenGL) with pragmatic automation (CMake, CI, scripting). Notably, he repeatedly builds cross-platform foundations from scratch—turning complex post-production and streaming constraints into maintainable, production-ready systems.
