Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Žužek is a Principal Software Engineer and product owner with 13 years of experience specializing in SYCL, heterogeneous compute, and compiler/runtime development. At Codeplay he built and leads teams delivering SYCL extensions and interoperability (Bindless Images, memory/semaphore bridges to Vulkan/DirectX) used in real-world workloads such as Blender’s GPU ray tracing. He combines hands-on C++/OpenCL/SYCL compiler work—reviewing and contributing patches to the Intel LLVM tree—with product ownership responsibilities including backlog management and stakeholder coordination. Peter has a strong academic foundation in computer science from Ljubljana and KIT and a proven record of turning specification proposals into implemented features. He is comfortable across low-level systems, performance engineering, and team leadership, having grown teams from three to five and chaired cross-company performance forums. An uncommon strength is his blend of upstream open-source stewardship and pragmatic product delivery that keeps experimental extensions production-relevant.
