Summary
Xavier Tolza is a software engineer and PhD in electronics with 10 years’ experience building signal-processing and embedded systems for aerospace, transport, and IoT. He combines deep numerical expertise in Python/Numpy and C++ with practical skills in pybind11, Dask for distributed computing, and CI/CD tooling to deliver maintainable, high-performance scientific code. His career spans prototyping on USRP/GNURadio and microcontrollers (nRF series) through to production HPC-enabled simulators and real-time embedded racks for train and satellite projects. Xavier routinely refactors monolithic simulators into modular libraries, vectorizes algorithms (MUSIC, CAPON, Kalman) and implements Python C++ extensions to squeeze performance where needed. Comfortable as an independent consultant, he bridges research-grade algorithms and production constraints, often improving data quality with Xarray and standard binary formats. Based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, he brings both academic rigor and hands-on embedded experience—sometimes keeping a foot in C to stay close to the hardware.
