Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Niedzielski is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in C++ with 14 years of experience building systems libraries, compilers, parsing technologies, and language tooling. He blends deep academic grounding—PhD-level work at MIT on theoretical linguistics and formal language/parsing theory—with practical engineering delivering high-performance concurrent components at Bloomberg. An active member of the C++ community, he has taught early courses on concepts and generic programming, spoken at CppCon, and volunteered at C++Now, reflecting both pedagogy and community leadership. His toolset spans C++, Haskell, and scripting languages, and he has a track record of applying computational linguistics to real-world parsing and corpus analysis. Patrick is seeking to return to a C++ role focused on compilers, tooling, or library implementation where his mix of formal theory and systems engineering delivers robust, provable software.
