Work Experience
Software Engineer
2021 - PRESENT
NuoDB
- Performed as the primary developer for columnar table support in the SQL engine.
- Was an important part of the effort to implement a new (state-of-the-art) query optimizer for the SQL execution engine. Charged with the implementation of selectivity estimation and access path selection, as well as other components.
- Improved the Interesting Properties framework implementation in the legacy optimizer.
- Implemented window function support in the SQL execution engine.
Technologies: C++, CMake, Algorithms, SQL, Object-oriented Programming (OOP), Object-oriented Design (OOD)
Research Engineer
2018 - PRESENT
Freelance
- Developed a high-fidelity, motion and pose invariant, 3D facial reconstruction algorithm that I later implemented into a facial authentication solution.
- Developed a real-time document tracking solution running on budget mobile phones to validate government IDs.
- Implemented a C++ inference framework for deep neural networks running on ARM-embedded devices.
Technologies: Python, OpenCV, TensorFlow, Intel RealSense, C++, Algorithms, Object-oriented Programming (OOP), Object-oriented Design (OOD), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Networking
System Development Engineer
2017 - 2018
Amazon.com
- Started the implementation of a kernel crash collection, classification, and reporting service in the AWS fleet for the (then new) Nitro architecture.
- Contributed actively to the architectural decisions during the design phase.
- Networked with other AWS teams to understand their potential needs from such a system.
Technologies: C++, Python, Elasticsearch, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Algorithms, Object-oriented Programming (OOP), Object-oriented Design (OOD)

Project History
CUBRID
https://github.com/cubrid/CUBRIDCUBRID is a comprehensive open-source relational database management system optimized for web applications. It's also highly performant and ACID-compliant.
I was one of the core engine developers, working on anything from the parser and query optimizer to the storage and execution engine. Please run "git log –author=Vilvoiu" on CUBRID's GitHub for a complete list of my commits.

CBOR Library | libecbor
https://github.com/rimio/libecborCBOR library with no dependencies, small memory footprint, and code size, developed for desktop and embedded applications.
I'm the creator and developer of this open-source project, released under the MIT license.

Spectogram Tool | specgram
https://github.com/rimio/specgramA small program that computes and plots spectrograms, either in a live window or disk, with support for STDIN input.
Created it because of the lack of such a flexible tool for live monitoring of signal sources, including anything from audio to MHz-wide RF downconverted sources.
