Top SchoolTomáš Kotál is a pragmatic software engineer with over a decade of professional experience building everything from embedded firmware and Solaris kernel components to cross-platform desktop and mobile applications. He specializes in performance-oriented C++ and modern graphics/GPU programming (Vulkan, DX11/12, HLSL/GLSL, CUDA), recently focusing on render programming for AAA and console platforms. His background includes low-level troubleshooting on Solaris/ZFS and contributions to notable open-source tooling like Oracle's OpenGrok back-end search and indexing.
