Top SchoolFrederik Carlier is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling test and automation products, currently heading R&D for Eggplant Test at Keysight Technologies. He blends product management, architecture and hands-on engineering—having moved from co-founding Quamotion to roles as Chief Architect and Business Lead—so he equally speaks to customers, roadmap strategy and low-level implementation. His open-source contributions span cross-platform tooling and multimedia/interop ecosystems (notably improvements to vcpkg, FFmpeg, FFmpeg.AutoGen and the .NET Kubernetes client), revealing deep expertise in build systems, native bindings and cross-runtime compatibility. Frederik’s background in physics and enterprise architecture informs a methodical approach to complex system design and interoperability problems. He has a track record of improving CI/CD, platform portability and native interop—skills that repeatedly surface in both product roadmaps and community projects. Colocated in Brussels, he combines an academic rigor with startup pragmatism, often tackling boot/firmware and platform quirks behind the scenes.
