Top SchoolHudson Oliveira is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of professional experience and a strong background in C++ and Python, currently working at Google after a multi-year technical leadership run at Cadence Design Systems. He has led teams, introduced C++ into legacy C codebases, and automated development workflows—improving build performance, memory usage, and release processes through tooling and instrumentation. Hudson’s work spans low-level performance optimization and higher-level architecture, including designing a command-dispatch compilation architecture and a C++ library for simulated CSR blocks. He is an active open-source contributor who modernized core simulation logic in the popular OpenRCT2 project by refactoring vehicle update routines into a cleaner Vehicle::Update design. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he combines hands-on engineering with mentoring and customer-facing debugging, bringing pragmatic quality and automation practices to complex systems. His background in electrical engineering and early embedded and test automation roles gives him uncommon fluency across hardware-near and large-scale software domains.
