Senior Software Engineer, c-sense GmbH
Aug, 2024 - Present
c-sense develops nanoscale sensor technology and AFM/SPM instruments for scientific and industrial applications.
Architected a modular, layered software framework for SPM instrument control — deliberately separating hardware vendor, orchestration, and application layers for long-term extensibility and reuse across future instrument variants
Defined cross-layer interface contracts and async command routing patterns to enable parallel development by hardware and software teams, reducing integration risk during concurrent R&D cycles
Led the design of a hardware abstraction strategy over a LabVIEW-based proprietary API, keeping the software stack agnostic to vendor-specific instrument changes
Collaborated with hardware engineers and research scientists to translate physics measurement protocols into reliable, automated software workflows
Delivered automated measurement capabilities (spatial sampling, real-time safety management) that allow researchers to focus on experimental outcomes rather than instrument operation
