Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRich Von Lehe is a Software Architect with over two decades of professional experience and a 12-year recent track record in embedded and real-time systems across defense, consumer audio, utilities, and telecommunications. He specializes in Modern C++, CMake, Conan, and event-driven architectures, pairing strong design-pattern discipline with hands-on debugging using scopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG. His background in power-system modeling and graduate-level math informs pragmatic solutions for complex modeling and communication problems, and he brings FPGA/VHDL and DSP experience to embedded product work. A longtime advocate for maintainable, high-quality code, he has progressed from firmware engineer roles to principal and architect positions at companies like Bose and Philips. Often the bridge between hardware and software teams, he thrives on delivering reliable real-time products and tooling across embedded Linux and RTOS environments. An interesting quirk: he combines deep low-level tool fluency with an enjoyment of modern C++ toolchains and package managers, favoring sustainable build systems even in legacy-constrained projects.
