Top SchoolOliver Hitchcock is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years' experience, currently driving EDA tool development and architecture at Cadence. He has led multiple global, cross-functional projects and frequently partners with customer R&D and executive teams to translate domain needs into performant solutions. Comfortable maintaining and modernizing legacy systems, he notably achieved an approximate 10,000x improvement in load times by reworking aging data structures. Recognized internally as a Rising Star, he combines hands-on coding with project leadership and a knack for untangling long-neglected codebases. Based in Edinburgh, he balances deep technical focus with practical customer engagement and a dry sense of curiosity (evidenced by a GitHub bio that swaps schematic tiles for Lisbon tiles).
