Senior🎓
Top SchoolMate Toth-pal is a Senior Software Engineer based in Budapest with nine years of experience focused on low-level and embedded systems development, primarily in C with additional expertise in C++ and Java. At Arm he maintains Trusted Firmware-M and contributes to open-source secure-boot ecosystems, including CI/test improvements and fault-injection tooling for the widely used mcuboot project. His background spans antivirus engine development at Sophos, real-time video and telecom systems on ARM and special SoCs, and automotive navigation platforms, giving him deep experience across constrained and safety-sensitive environments. He favors automated testing and robust CI/CD practices, demonstrated by scripting image-corruption and QEMU-based testing for mcuboot. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic maintenance of legacy codebases and for shipping hardening features that improve reliability under fault conditions.
