Iman AhmadvandSoftware Development Engineer
PROFILE

As a detail-oriented, collaborative, and well-disciplined Software Engineer with +7 years of professional experience and valuable insights, I've contributed to various high-tech business sectors in both Agile membership and initiative, with a primary focus on cross-platform application development, embedded systems (Linux, bare-metal, RTOS), and distributed systems (simulations, network services, and processing pipelines). With a strong foundation in computer science, including algorithms, data structures, and concurrency, I bring strong problem-solving skills and a proven ability to analyze, design, implement, and optimize solutions—primarily using C, modern C++, and Python— for long-term projects aimed at performance, reliability, and latency following a test-driven workflow.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Software Engineer

ESPACE Startup
Jan 2023 – presentStuttgart, Germany (Remote)

As the main full-stack and system developer and part of a small team, I've pushed valuable work for the software development of a testbed and emulator platform in both the embedded side and the desktop frontend. The product is mainly usable in ECU experimentation and calibration, HIL, and real-time and graphical device programming, and much more.

Area of my work:

  • •Developed RTOS-based firmware, custom FSBL, and multiple drivers for advanced and high-performance AMD(Xilinx) Zynq-7000 FPGA SOC, acting as an emulator ecosystem by managing hardware stack and software stack synchronization with Vivado
  • •Developed multiple embedded-side projects like a custom bootloader, RTOS-based firmware, and a multi I/O adapter/bridge for STM32, and low-level utility libraries for host-device commands, data transactions, and streaming
  • •Developed a universal engineering utility to unite multiple specialized tools like debugging and visual schematic modeling, leveraging modern C++ with a flexible plugin-based modular structure with a high level of scalability, maintainability, and extensibility
  • •Integrated Python3 and GNU Octave interpreter to enhance and extend application runtime functionality with their great tools and mathematical strength, respectively

    Arad Co
    Aug 2019 – Oct 2022 | Tehran (On-Site)

    I was the main back-end and core systems developer, responsible for developing and maintaining pipeline services for data aggregation/distribution servers(providing their SDKs) for GIS-oriented data from many diverse data sources for algorithm processing, filtering, smoothing, etc. using modern C++ and Python which involved:

  • •Developed a plugin-based gRPC server for a custom database playback system with complex business logic under the hood handling 5000/sec live GPS entities
  • •Developed a high-performance logging agent as part of a distributed federate-based(HLA) simulation session capable of handling 8000 simulation events per second
  • •Designed high-performance data models and query optimization using PostGIS on the database side to increase system responsiveness over millions of records
  • •Participated in developing and maintaining parts of the 3D monitoring system as the OpenGL front end using OpenSceneGraph & osgEarth
  • •Optimized CPU and Memory performance through profiling, and tunning across projects in collaboration with the rest of the team
    • ACHIEVEMENTS

    Real time data monitoring and graphing

    C++, Qt, Qwt, UDP, DMA, STM32, performance-tuning
    ESPACE Startup

    Delivered a high-performance sensor and motor-control data visualization system capable of streaming data from 16 x 10 kHz active channels. Successfully increased system responsiveness by implementing a simplified concurrency pattern, utilizing a Qwt OpenGL Canvas for efficient rendering, optimizing dynamic memory usage, and leveraging hardware DMA on the embedded slave device to ensure seamless data processing

    High throughput logging federate

    C++, backend, Postgresql, database
    Arad Co

    Developed a high-performance logging system to capture and store records from all federate nodes in a PostgreSQL cluster during non-real-time distributed simulations. Achieved ~8,000 events/sec (100 KB each) with no impact on simulation performance, ensuring reliable and persistent data logging

    Aviation Data Pipeline Management Server

    Arad Co

    Developed a back-end server capable of handling around 5000 GEO position data flows per second for tracking purposes and further algorithm processing & replay system using modern C++

    PROJECTS

    My primary job was to develop a full software stack(front-end and back-end) for a hybrid EMS(Electric Muscle Stimulation) device capable of wired and wireless training functionality with Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 at the core. I was successful in:

  • •Provide consultation and design key system components
  • •Reduce system latency regarding master-slave commands and network transactions
  • •Create an embedded Linux system image by customizing the system and kernel to a great extent
