Richard Danter is a seasoned Software Architect with nine years of formal experience and a long tenure at Wind River where he progressed from Senior Member of Technical Staff to architecting embedded and networking solutions. He specialises in C/C++, Python, and Go, with deep expertise in Linux kernel development, device drivers, and GUI toolkits like Qt and wxWidgets. Comfortable across toolchains and build systems (make, cmake) and debuggers (gdb), he bridges low-level systems work with higher-level application and GUI development on Linux and macOS. His background in electronic product engineering informs pragmatic design choices for resource-constrained and real-time environments. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex hardware and kernel constraints into maintainable software architectures and shipping products. Based in the UK, he brings a steady mix of hands-on coding, systems debugging, and field-facing engineering experience.
