Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDávid Hanák is a Senior Research Engineer based in Budapest with 17 years of experience bridging research and production in data science, routing algorithms, and systems architecture. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Constraint Programming) with hands-on expertise in machine learning (Julia) and mainstream languages like C/C++ and Java, plus practical work in Erlang/Elixir migration and embedded navigation stacks. At Cursor Insight he helps transition R&D into product-ready projects, drawing on prior roles leading routing, guidance, and traffic teams and serving as a Release Train System Architect. His background includes DARPA- and ONR-funded research in distributed planning and maintenance tools and early industry work customizing design software—evidence of a rare mix of formal methods and applied engineering. Colleagues rely on him for clarity on complex system interfaces and nonfunctional requirements, and his Github motto “Source bona, nihil aliud” hints at a pragmatic, quality-first engineering ethos. He favors solving hard algorithmic problems that must reliably operate in real-time, safety-critical environments.
