Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Sergeant is a senior software engineer with over two decades of commercial experience, specialising in embedded C/C++ on Linux and a long track record in telecommunications and defence systems. He blends deep low-level skills—porting legacy 32-bit C to 64-bit, ECPG/Postgres integration, systemd migrations—with higher-level work in Python, Java and GUI/WebKit overlays. At Nokia he progressed from graduate to lead engineer writing large volumes of embedded and OOC code, and more recently at DXC/HPE he prototypes planning tools and automates builds with Jenkins. Robin is also an active open-source contributor, improving input handling and emulation fidelity in the notable MAME project (RM Nimbus support), which reflects his attention to hardware-adjacent detail. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, maintainable solutions that tame legacy complexity while enabling modernisation.
