Radu Stefan is a software engineer with 16 years of experience bridging algorithmic research and practical systems engineering, currently working at Google. He holds a PhD in Computer Engineering from TU Delft where he developed Network-on-Chip optimization algorithms and FPGA/HDL implementations, bringing deep hardware-software co-design expertise to software projects. His background spans video codec development (H.264, rate control, multithreading), web design and backend work (PHP/MySQL), and production-grade software design at MAPPER Lithography and other research roles. Radu combines strong algorithmic problem-solving with hands-on implementation of parallel processing, routing topologies, and hardware decompression schemes. Colleagues value his ability to translate theoretical ideas into performant, integrated systems across hardware and software stacks. A less obvious strength is his history of building end-to-end solutions—from faculty websites to low-level codec/IP cores—showing both breadth and practical delivery.
