Tiago Proenca is a Principal Software Engineer with 15+ years building scalable platforms and networking technologies across industry and academia, currently driving work at Broadcom after a long technical tenure at VMware. He combines deep systems and tools expertise—Java, C++, Eclipse RCP/plugin development—with front-end experience from two Google internships focused on Photos and Lightbox UX. His background spans domains from medical imaging and education portals to P2P/video distribution and mesh networking, reflecting a habit of crossing disciplinary boundaries to solve hard engineering problems. A hands-on leader, he has repeatedly led tool and UI rewrites (e.g., the Lighthouse Eclipse plug-in) and shipped production features at scale. Colleagues rely on his ability to translate concept-driven designs into practical, maintainable implementations while mentoring teams. Based in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale area, he brings a researcher’s rigor from UCI and Brazilian universities together with long-term industry delivery.
