Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Nyberg is an engine programmer with 21 years of experience specializing in low-level, performance-sensitive systems from OS-level tooling to high-performance game engines and GPGPU. Currently at Fatshark, he brings deep expertise in optimization, parallelization and compiler-aware engineering honed through roles at Paradox Interactive where he reduced build times, rewrote build systems and implemented complex engine features. A longtime contributor to the Red programming language compiler, he has practical experience with cross-platform native compilation, ELF/FreeBSD support and exposing CPU registers—skills that reflect uncommon comfort with both systems internals and high-level architecture. With a Master’s in Scientific Computing and a background in Unix administration and university systems integration, he blends rigorous algorithmic thinking with pragmatic engineering for resource-constrained, high-performance applications.

Mar 2014 - Mar 2014
Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!
