Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Pinho is a Radio Systems Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and optimizing wireless firmware and radio control algorithms, currently advancing mixed-signal connectivity at Samsung Cambridge. He combines deep expertise in RF, DSP and embedded software—developed across Wi‑Fi modem firmware, PLL and power control calibrations, and scalable telecom backends—with hands-on C/C++ and MATLAB algorithm development. An active GNU Radio contributor, he implemented a performant Stream Demux block and comprehensive tests, reflecting a focus on both feature engineering and code quality in a widely used open-source SDR ecosystem. Outside work he pursues aerospace passions—RC flight, UAV autopilots and CubeSat projects—and is undertaking a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, bridging practical RF systems know-how with astrodynamics and avionics research.

Contributions summary:David primarily contributed to the GNU Radio project by implementing a new "Stream Demux" block in C++ and Python, which demultiplexes a single stream into multiple output streams. They also made performance improvements to the "Stream Mux" block, including replacing C-style casts and optimizing for loop usage. Furthermore, the user added example flowgraphs for Stream Mux/Demux blocks and created a test suite for digital constellation normalization, demonstrating a focus on both feature development and code quality through testing.
