Summary
Oleg Tikhomirov is a software engineer with a PhD in Applied Mathematics and over 15 years of experience building and optimizing CAM systems, currently contributing to advanced toolpath and machine-avoidance features at Autodesk. He combines deep theoretical knowledge—having taught differential equations, stability and control theory—with hands-on implementation of complex CAM kernels, five-axis algorithms, and performance-critical tooling. His work spans from inventing dynamic stepover and smoothing algorithms to developing undercut and drilling strategies, reflecting a rare blend of mathematical rigor and practical engineering. Based in Copenhagen, he thrives on tackling hard mathematical problems across domains and has a track record of turning research-grade ideas into production-grade machining software.
