Summary
Giang Dao is a versatile senior software and systems engineer with over three decades of experience spanning ASIC and graphics hardware design, embedded systems, Windows/Linux driver development, and cloud-enabled enterprise applications. He has led large-scale projects—from set-top-box and multimedia deployments in hospitality to mission-critical field service and delivery frameworks used by thousands of users—combining low-level engineering with software architecture and performance optimization. Comfortable across C/C++, C#, .NET, Azure and big-data tooling like Splunk, he also designed patented graphics architectures and built SOAP/WCF integrations that reduced maintenance and improved uptime. Known for bridging domain knowledge with technology, he has moved between disciplines (mechanical, electrical, HVAC, astrophysics curiosities) and translated complex business requirements into practical, maintainable systems. Now retired and freelance, he brings a rare blend of hands-on hardware/IP expertise and modern enterprise software delivery experience.
