Top SchoolOscar Azucena is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of industry experience and a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from UC Santa Cruz, currently building products at Google in Sunnyvale. He blends deep hardware-domain expertise—LiDAR, thin films, microfabrication and optical modeling—with hands-on C++ and modern Android UI work, delivering sensor calibration, simulation, and user-facing features. At Quanergy he shipped C++ Qt tools and multi-target tracking algorithms, and his open-source contributions to AndroidX and JetBrains show a knack for Compose UI, animation, and performance-sensitive interpolation (e.g., KeyframesWithSplineSpec). Comfortable moving between low-level device algorithms and polished front-end experiences, he focuses on making complex systems both accurate and usable. Colleagues benefit from his research-trained rigor and a proven ability to translate optical/electronic characterization into production software.
