Senior🎓
Top SchoolZalán Demeter is a Senior Research Software Engineer based in Budapest with 8 years of hands-on experience building perception, planning, and control systems for autonomous vehicles and robotics. He has led architecture and implementation of full-scale autonomous racing stacks, automated cloud deployment of multi-instance SIL simulation environments, and integrated reinforcement learning pipelines into production-like systems. Zalán combines academic rigor from a master’s in Autonomous Vehicle Control with practical on-track validation, tuning adaptive cruise control from real-world data and proving it in simulation and on-track. He has consistently moved from sensor integration on embedded platforms to system-wide software architecture, mentoring teams and supervising driverless development in competitive racing contexts. Notably, his background includes building a custom ORB-SLAM implementation for research and shipping scalable simulation infrastructure—skills that bridge research prototypes and reliable deployment.
