Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel D'andrada is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building Linux-based systems for phones, tablets and automotive ECUs, currently focused on Authentication in Android Automotive OS at Google. His career spans product-defining work from Nokia's first Linux devices and MeeGo UI through Canonical's Unity 8 to modern Rust development in Android Automotive, giving him rare end-to-end exposure to display servers, QML UIs, and low-level networking. He has deep expertise in Linux, C++ and Rust and a history of shipping multi-process automotive UIs and diagnostic gateways that bridge embedded constraints with safety-critical protocols. An active open-source contributor, he has fixed nuanced input- and event-handling bugs in Qt Declarative and stabilized tests in the Unity8 environment, improving touch responsiveness across widely used projects. Based in the Greater Munich area, he combines systems-level engineering with practical product integration, often tackling tricky input/timing issues that are easy to overlook but critical in real devices.
