Summary
Eric Hargitt is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and modernizing high-reliability systems in C++ and cloud-native environments. He has a track record of rescuing legacy codebases—porting a 20+-year-old QT C++ radar management suite to Ubuntu and containerizing it for Azure Kubernetes Service within months of joining a new employer. Comfortable across systems from embedded SDR and electronic warfare to large-scale compute clusters, he blends low-level expertise (gcc, gdb, assembly-level reverse engineering) with modern DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, Octopus, CI/CD). He’s improved performance-critical tooling (e.g., reducing a PDB parser’s runtime to 40% of its original cost) and led teams through agile adoption and sprint leadership. A former Navy electronics technician and volunteer firefighter, he brings operational discipline and a hands-on, test-first engineering mindset to complex, mission-focused software.
