Summary
Ionut-eduard Matei is a Senior Software Engineer from Craiova, Romania, specializing in secure, high-performance real-time systems with a strong focus on applied cryptography and low-level optimizations. He builds production backends in ASP.NET Core and leverages P/Invoke to integrate native C/C++—including SIMD-tuned code—while maintaining robust, maintainable C# codebases. His background spans gameplay and systems programming (Unity, Unreal, native plugins, shaders) which informs a security-oriented, performance-first mindset uncommon in typical backend engineers. With five years of professional experience across freelance, studio, and product teams, he blends academic depth (masters in AI, PhD-level computer science work) with practical engineering that bridges research, game engines, and systems-level security.
