Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTadeusz Pudlik is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience who blends computational physics training and production software engineering to build robust embedded and infrastructure systems. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has driven hardware-in-the-loop testing and embedded driver validation at Waymo and made Bazel-first embedded builds and testing infrastructure for Google's Pigweed project. He brings a rare mix of scientific rigor—gained from a PhD in physics and contributions to SciPy improving special-function accuracy—and pragmatic engineering, shipping validators and CI that catch real-world sensor failures. Comfortable across low-level embedded code, distributed backends, and test automation, he focuses on making hardware and build systems reliably testable at scale. Notably, his open-source work on SciPy and Pigweed shows a commitment to correctness and reproducible tooling beyond his day job.
