Summary
Konstantinos Xikis is a senior software and systems engineer based in Munich with over two decades of hands-on experience delivering real-time, embedded and desktop GUI solutions across automotive, aerospace, telecommunications and industrial automation. He combines deep low-level C/C++ expertise with higher-level languages like C#, Python and Java, and strong object-oriented design and Matlab/Simulink modelling skills. Konstantinos has been "battle-tested" in full lifecycle development—architecture, implementation, profiling and verification—and routinely takes on function ownership, mentoring and sub-project planning. His career includes senior roles at BMW Group, Magna, Schaeffler and MTU, where he bridged software and hardware concerns to produce robust, safety-conscious systems. Comfortable both writing device-near code and shaping system-level architecture, he brings a solid scientific foundation and pragmatic engineering judgement. A fast learner and adapter, he’s known for turning complex specifications into maintainable implementations while coaching teams to higher delivery quality.
