Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPrzemyslaw Wirkus is a Principal Engineer at Arm based in South Cambridgeshire with 11 years of experience bridging low-level embedded work and large-scale, full life-cycle projects such as Windows on Arm. He champions clean, reusable, self-documenting code and has deep expertise in compiler and toolchain engineering, including GCC/AArch64 contributions that added support for numerous Arm CPUs (Cortex-X1, A78/A78AE/A78C, A510/A710, X2) and features like +flagm and +pauth. At Arm he has combined release management, build-system infrastructure and Windows performance tooling with pragmatic process automation to improve QA, QC and developer productivity. A strong proponent of Agile/Lean practices, code review, and static/dynamic analysis, he also coaches teams on C++ and software engineering best practices. Outside work he pursues continual skill sharpening and is a self-taught Mandarin learner, a small but telling example of his disciplined, long-term learning approach.
