Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Erbrecht is a software engineer with 14 years of experience and over nine years focused on C#/.NET development, currently contributing at Google from Waterloo, Canada. He blends deep software skills—C/C++, Java, Python, WPF/XAML—and active open-source contributions (notably to the YamlDotNet .NET YAML library) with a rare background in hardware: analog/digital circuit design, high-speed memory and video hardware validation, and hands-on lab work with oscilloscopes and thermal chambers. His research at the University of Waterloo produced a novel image quantization framework that outperformed JPEG, reflecting a long-standing interest in image and video processing. Colleagues rely on him for readable, testable, and efficient code that bridges firmware, tooling, and system-level hardware validation.
