Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Fröhlich is a senior software developer with 16 years of experience specializing in systems software, programming languages, and the intersection of hardware and software to build efficient, reliable, and secure systems. Based in the Greater Munich area, he pairs industrial work at FAST LTA with a long academic teaching record—having developed and taught courses from operating systems and compilers to modern programming languages across universities including Johns Hopkins and UC Irvine. He contributes to foundational open-source projects such as the xv6 teaching OS and has a pragmatic focus on code quality, refactoring, and debugging across back-end systems (Go, Java, C#). Peter also brings game-development experience, having led a university gaming lab and consulted on server-side consistency and real-time features for commercial titles. Beyond engineering, he cares about computer science education and the societal impact of technology, and his terse GitHub notes suggest a strong stance on practical security hygiene.
