👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Nivault is a versatile software engineer with 17 years of experience specializing in C/C++ and a broad fluency across paradigms (Python, OCaml, C#, Ada, etc.), currently developing backend and client components for Inuvika OVD. He has deep GNU/Linux expertise and a track record in R&D-style projects—designing multi-tenant systems, two-factor authentication, multi-screen support, and contributing to the FreeRDP project on audio/printer subsystems. Comfortable across embedded telecom stacks, research prototypes at INRIA, and full-product lifecycles, he combines rigorous code quality, automated tooling (CMake, Autotools, Jenkins) and developer workflow improvements (Git/GitLab, CI). He often surfaces non-obvious value by modernizing legacy codebases, improving test tooling and developer productivity, and mentoring junior engineers. Outside engineering he brings discipline and long-term practice from over a decade as a lyric baritone, a detail that reflects his attention to craft and performance.
