Carlos Izaguirre is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with nine years of industry experience and a PhD in Computer Science, currently leading advanced C++ development at Avid from Valencia, Spain. He specializes in algorithm optimization, parallelization, cross-platform C++17 development with Qt and Boost, and has applied these skills across domains like audio/video editing, motion capture, VR, medical imaging and surgical simulators. Comfortable bridging research and product engineering, he has a decade-plus history in R&D roles, university teaching, and shipping production-grade systems that blend high-performance graphics, shader programming, and machine learning. Carlos is as attentive to UI/UX and design-level architecture as he is to low-level performance tuning, routinely abstracting complex problems into maintainable codebases. Beyond work he automates workflows with personal utilities, runs a Spanish programming blog (HeaderFiles.com), and brings creative instincts from graphic design and choral composition to his engineering craft. Always learning—his GitHub tagline “C++ love, learning something new every day” reflects a continuous curiosity that drives both technical depth and practical innovation.
