Senior🎓
Top SchoolPieter-jan Van De Maele is a Senior Software Engineering Manager and Architect with 14 years of experience building and leading teams that create CAD and EDA design systems, currently driving architecture and delivery for electronics tooling at Autodesk in San Francisco. He combines deep C++ and systems design expertise—covering algorithms like graph traversal, routing, collision detection, and performant undo/observable models—with hands-on product ownership and cloud backend experience for library services. Pieter-jan has shepherded major migrations (EAGLE to Fusion 360), modernized core data models, and scaled browser-based CAD platforms, balancing long-term extensibility with pragmatic shipping. He is as comfortable profiling for memory and latency improvements as he is aligning cross-functional stakeholders and mentoring scrum teams. A notable but less obvious strength is his ability to move between low-level algorithmic problem solving and high-level architectural strategy, making him effective at both feature implementation and platform evolution.
