Senior🎓
Top SchoolJordy Potman is a senior staff software engineer with over a decade of deep experience building compilers, toolchains and embedded software for VLIW and DSP architectures using C, C++ and Java. He has led LLVM/Clang-based compiler backends and development tools for multiple processors (Xentium, Synopsys ARC VPX/EV) and influenced hardware design by feeding compiler-driven requirements into floating-point and ISA features. Based in Eindhoven, he combines hands-on engineering—extending code generation, debuggers and linker toolchains—with systems-level work like CI, Eclipse integration and FPGA-based platform ports. His background includes research-grade simulation and algorithm work for UMTS receivers, giving him a rare blend of signal-processing insight and production compiler expertise. Colleagues rely on him for technical guidance across cross-functional teams and for turning complex processor features into robust toolchain support.
