Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRudi Farkas is a seasoned software and firmware engineer with roots in electronics dating back to the 1960s and more than four decades of hands-on experience building embedded systems and test automation for world-class electronic instrumentation. He spent 20+ years writing firmware and signal-processing code for digital oscilloscopes at LeCroy and later developed C++ user-mode and kernel-mode drivers and Python test harnesses for major instrument manufacturers. Rudi has also explored mobile development, shipping an iPhone app in the early App Store era, and today pursues iOS and modern language projects (Swift, Go) from Geneva. His profile blends deep low-level expertise—kernel drivers, device control and embedded graphics—with practical tooling skills in Perl and automation for large codebases. As a Content Advisory Board member and senior consultant, he pairs veteran engineering judgment with ongoing curiosity about contemporary software stacks. A PhD-trained electronics engineer who pivoted into software in the 1970s, he brings a rare continuity across hardware, firmware, and application layers.
