Project history

07/2023 - Present
Software consultant and senior software engineer
Industrial Equipment Manufacturer (Industry and mechanical engineering, >10.000 employees)
  • Analyzed the old software and the customer's requirements for proposing a complete refactoring, which resulted in rewriting over 90% of the codebase and adding several new business features.
  • Improved system stability and reliability from the customer's point of view.
  • Worked closely with the customer to discover the most critical part of the system that needed to be delivered first.
06/2022 - 06/2023
Senior software engineer
High-end domestic appliances manufacturer (Consumer goods and retail, >10.000 employees)
  • Developed code in highly regulated environments, aiming to reach over 90% code coverage.
  • Contributed to the code of conduct by proposing the modernization of coding standards.
  • Developed code focusing on multiplatform operability (target: embedded Linux, tests: Windows).
02/2020 - 05/2021
Software consultant and senior software engineer
Industrial Equipment Manufacturer (Industry and mechanical engineering, >10.000 employees)
  • Designed a robust embedded-software architecture that allows non-technical users to build embedded systems. That way, new products don't have to be coded in C/C++.
  • Contributed to establishing state-of-the-art coding practices to ensure code quality.
  • Consulted and served as a tech lead for several subcontractors working on the project.
  • Wrote the initial POC code, which included embedding a system of easily selectable and domain-specific components, a code generator "gluing" the common part with a project-specific one, and building a system for full automation.
06/2019 - 05/2021
Senior sofware engineer
Chubb Fire and Security (Industry and mechanical engineering, >10.000 employees)
  • Redesigned an old, mission-critical C application into distributed, C++17 networking applications on the newly embedded Linux, running on mangOH hardware.
  • Introduced TDD for a brand new version of the system.
  • Modularized the software and tests (TDD), which led to much faster development because it shortened the feedback loop significantly. The target was an embedded Linux system.

Local Availability

Open to travel worldwide
I prefer working remotely from my home in Innsbruck, Austria, however I can spend some time at client place if necessary, which can be the case especially in the initial phase of a project.

Recommendations

Mpreis Warenvertriebs Gmbh
IT Manager (DI Hans-Peter Guggenbichler)
"Herr Opoka konnte durch seine fachliche Kompetenz und sein qualifiziertes Expertenwissen die anstehenden Themen bearbeiten und Lösungsvorschläge unterbreiten. In der sehr vertrauensvollen Atmosphäre war die Zusammenarbeit sehr fokussiert und ergebnisorientiert, zudem kurzweilig und sympathisch. Wir haben mit Herrn Opoka nicht nur den passenden Ansprechpartner zur Lösung der unmittelbaren Herausforderungen gefunden, wir konnten auch weiterführende Probleme adressieren. Jederzeit gerne wieder!"
Leybold GmbH
deputy team leader (Michael Pajonk)
"Always dedicated to his work he was able to provide great solutions that are simple, flexible and easy to extend or adapt when the scope changes.
Capable to coordinate the work of other team members he is a big plus for every project.
Since Miroslaw is eager to have a full understanding of the system he is working with, there is no space for shady parts of code that might lead to strange behaviour when extending the code base
You are lucky when you got the opportunity to get him for your project"
