Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFurkan Tokac is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building safety-critical embedded systems, vehicle electronics, and trapped-ion quantum control software. Currently at the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore, he designs low-level control stacks across Linux, RTOS and FPGA for quantum hardware while also co-leading an EV startup where he architected ASIL-D-capable vehicle computers, bootloaders, and motor drivers. He blends full-stack embedded expertise—Yocto, AUTOSAR, MISRA, CI/HIL—with front-end UI work, notably redesigning KDE Plasma’s Workspace and Touchpad control modules using Kirigami. A pragmatic leader who’s built teams, custom Linux distros and telemetry platforms from scratch, he favors end-to-end ownership from hardware to cloud. Pragmatic, curious and multidisciplinary, he crosses domains from open-source desktop UX to high-assurance automotive and quantum systems.
