Franco Cattapan

I am a 30+ years experienced C/C++ development engineer, algorithm designer, system architect. My specialties are: R&D, prototyping & proof-of-concept projects, products bring-up.
During my carrier I was involved in countless number of projects in many different technologies and application fields. This has made me adaptable, capable to see the project deeply and identify quickly both flaws and runnable solutions.
From the big-picture to the smallest detail I’m a valuable resource in all project’s phases, with great attention for details, quality, maintainability and viability but also with high innovative spirit.
My primary languages are C/C++, SQL, and Bash with a touch of Python.
Further back in time I also used C#, PHP, HTML, Java, Javascript, VBS, Lua, Fortran, Assembler, Pascal.
