Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Kovacs is a C++ software engineer and PhD student based in Budapest with nine years of experience building graphics- and VR-focused engines and tools. His career bridges academia and industry: he led a virtual reality group at MTA SZTAKI, contributed to Khronos Group’s OpenXR working group, and worked as a C++ engine developer for CREY Games and Siemens NX projects. He has acted as a software architect and team lead, mentoring junior developers and shaping immersive-system architectures that span research prototypes to production tooling. Known for deep systems-level C++ expertise, he repeatedly combines performance optimization with clean interface design for VR and graphics applications. An unexpected thread in his profile is sustained involvement in standards and cross-institution collaboration, reflecting both technical depth and ecosystem-level influence. Now pursuing doctoral research at TalTech, he continues to fuse cutting-edge research with practical engineering.
