Software Engineering Consultant

Hi, I'm Miroslaw Opoka, a software consultant with over 20 years of experience providing software solutions focusing on embedded systems. I have extensive experience using modern C++, C, Python, and Linux to create efficient and reliable software solutions for applications like IoT devices or industrial control systems.

what I DO

A few words about what I specialize in
Consulting

Consulting

I work closely with your team, listening and understanding your needs, to design a robust software architecture that meets your requirements, and create a plan to bring it into reality.

Optimization

optimization

I help you optimize and refactor your existing code, focusing on two essential aspects: runtime performance, which affects user experience, and development efficiency (speed of development), which influences time to market and adaptability to future changes.

Development

Development

I select the best tool for the task to ensure the solution's highest reliability, maintainability, and efficiency (understood as both runtime performance and development efficiency).

methodology

My Approach and What It Means to You
Communication

Communication

Communication is the key to achieving project success. I'm committed to an open dialogue, ensuring our objectives and strategies are aligned. Clear communication saves costs and reduces the risk of creating something that deviates from your needs.

Pragmatism

Pragmatism

Pragmatism in software development balances simplicity and over-engineering. Too simple solutions can be hard to maintain, while too complex may increase the time and cost of future developments. Over two decades, I've seen these extremes and everything in between, developing an intuitive sense of pragmatism in this field.
