Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Cassar is a Founding Principal Engineer with a multi-decade track record building high-performance networking, distributed systems, and manufacturing software stacks, now focusing on brand-agnostic mobile robot fleet orchestration. He has led end-to-end designs for software-defined vehicles and model-based fleet communications at Rivian and CARIAD, and previously implemented large-scale streaming telemetry and IP/MPLS forwarding systems at Cisco. Comfortable across embedded firmware, cloud backends, and orchestration layers, he routinely connects low-level C and networking work to modern Go-based cloud services (Kafka, etcd, Prometheus, Kubernetes). A pragmatic systems thinker, he has shipped factory automation for high-volume production lines and also experiments with consensus algorithms—his Raft tinkering is available on GitHub. Based in the UK and holding an MSc from Oxford, he blends deep protocol-level expertise with founder-stage product execution.
