Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominik Holland is a Principal Software Engineer based in Bavaria with 13 years of experience building and maintaining core parts of the Qt ecosystem, from embedded platforms to IDE and declarative UI tooling. He blends deep C++/Qt expertise with DevOps and automation skills, having streamlined cross-platform Python environments and CI for the widely used Qt5 project. As a co-founder of Pelagicore and long-term contributor at The Qt Company and Luxoft, he has a strong track record in automotive-grade software, Qt/QML ports to low-end embedded devices, and performance debugging. Dominik’s work spans low-level platform integration (eglfs, NVIDIA EGL streams) to higher-level QML debugging and scene-graph optimizations, showing both systems-level insight and pragmatic engineering. He holds a Diplom in Informatics from Fachhochschule Augsburg and often surfaces non-obvious fixes—like reverting vsync changes after observing real-world driver behavior—to keep production systems efficient and maintainable.
