Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarel Burda is a Technical Lead based in Brno with 8 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining low-level systems in C and C++, with a strong focus on operating systems, platform stability, and reducing technical debt. He currently leads a small C++ team at Barclays, guiding platform improvements and mentoring engineers while retaining a deeply practical engineering ethos. His background spans aerospace, embedded, and semiconductor domains—shipping cross-platform services and development tools that touch Windows, Linux, iOS, build systems and IDE integrations. Comfortable across CMake, shell tooling, and modern dev workflows (Git, Docker, CI), he pairs systems-level curiosity with clear communication and people-first leadership. An academic grounding in information technology and early research in text clustering hint at both theoretical interest and pragmatic implementation skills.
