Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhilipp Mayer is a software developer with nine years of hands-on experience in systems and embedded software, currently contributing at B&R Industrial Automation from his base in Siegsdorf, Germany. He holds MSc training in Applied Image and Signal Processing and a BS in Applied Informatics from Universität Salzburg, combining strong academic foundations with practical engineering. His work spans compiler and emulator development—most notably substantial back-end contributions to the Selfie project, where he implemented RISC-V code generation, added instructions and enabled 64-bit types—showing deep low-level and toolchain expertise. Earlier roles at Salzburg and HEIDENHAIN exposed him to algorithm development in computational geometry, LabVIEW-based dataflow and measurement automation, and teaching complex CS topics. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who moves between research-grade algorithm design and production-focused automation software. He brings a rare mix of formal CS teaching experience, open-source compiler/emulator work, and industrial automation delivery.
