Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolErgys Dona is a wireless software engineer based in Lausanne with a decade of experience building low-level systems, compilers, and backend services for industry leaders like Cisco and Oracle as well as research at EPFL. His work spans from production wireless software to advancing language runtimes—contributing to Scala Native’s reflective instantiation and JUnit support, and to Oracle’s Multilingual Engine and JIT optimizations. He has a strong track record in static analysis and tooling from his PhD work (finding bugs in Chromium bindings) and practical open-source contributions at CERN’s widely used Indico event system. Comfortable across C/C++, JVM/Scala and systems tooling, he combines research-grade problem solving with production delivery and has a knack for bringing prototype runtime ideas into deployable systems.
