Summary
Paul-Antoine Bittner is a freelance software engineer with 16 years’ experience specializing in high-performance computing (OpenMP, MPI, CUDA) and systems-level C development. After a long R&D tenure at Schlumberger—where he delivered seismic inversion plug-ins and achieved dramatic single-workstation performance gains—he now applies that performance-first mindset to client projects from his London base. He combines deep optimization skills (vectorization, async I/O, MKL) with practical product experience across scientific and enterprise domains, able to turn compute-heavy algorithms into production-ready code. Fluent in both academic and industrial workflows thanks to engineering and MSc training, he often surfaces non-obvious performance wins through profiling-driven refactors rather than premature redesigns.
