About
Hi, I’m Timur. I’m a developer and electrical engineer who prefers quality over quantity. I currently contribute to the Linux open source graphics stack and other cool stuff. |
Current work
I’m a subcontractor to Valve, working on the Linux open source graphics stack, primarily contributing to these parts of the Mesa project:
- RADV, a Vulkan driver for AMD Radeon GPUs
- ACO, a shader compiler back-end for such GPUs
- NIR, which is the common compiler infrastructure used by most Mesa drivers
Previous work
Here are some of the more interesting things I’ve worked on over the past decade.
- SMOG-1
Pico satellite created by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. I was responsible for the development of its on-board computer which coordinates all other subsystems. The satellite is still operational and working as intended, measuring the electro-smog around planet Earth. - Sailfish OS
Mobile operating system development, working as a subcontractor for Jolla. Contributed to UI and middleware components of the operating system. - Syngo
Worked at the clinical solutions department of Evosoft Hungary, developed software for Siemens Healthineers medical devices in C#. These devices are widely used by the healthcare industry. - Sense/Net
A long-long time ago I used to be a “full-stack” web developer at Sense/Net where I worked on several ECMS projects, building internet and intranet sites for big corporations.
Those that aren’t interesting and/or relevant anymore are not listed here.
More info
I have a BSc in Electrical Engineering, but by the time I got my degree I had already been working as a software developer for several years, so I haven’t worked on electronics projects other than SMOG-1.
These days I enjoy low-level development, which is why I work on a graphics driver. It is much more exciting than most of the “enterprisey” stuff that I had worked on previously.
