Xavier Leclercq is a Principal Software Engineer with two decades of experience designing and maintaining large-scale, high-availability C++ systems, currently open to 6–12 month contract roles. He blends hands-on low-level development with tech lead responsibilities, having led teams of 3–10 engineers and coordinated delivery, onboarding and production support across mission-critical environments. His background spans simulation runtimes with strict performance constraints, financial asset modelling, and rebuilding legacy systems into robust C++ services. Notable strengths include on-call production stewardship and a track record of rewriting fragile mixed-language components into reliable platforms. Based in England, he adapts his level of technical involvement to team needs and enjoys mentoring engineers at all experience levels. An early career in operating-system and mobile security gives him deeper systems-level insight that informs his backend and systems design decisions.
