Welcome!

My name is Tom Zakrajsek.

I'm a  software engineer  and  technical leader  with a passion for software craftsmanship and developing strong teams.

At the moment, I'm probably thinking about: clean code.

Introduction

Overview

Throughout my career, I have worked on embedded systems, display drivers, streaming media drivers, DMA drivers, graphics software, multimedia codecs, parsers, communication protocols, test frameworks, profilers, DRM software (CPRM), native applications on Windows and Linux, web services and applications, the WebKit rendering engine, and Qualcomm's trusted execution environment (QTEE).

I have contributed code to Microsoft Windows, Qualcomm BREW, Qualcomm's Android and Embedded Linux releases for Snapdragon, WebKit, SDKs, and DDKs.

While most of the software I have worked on has been proprietary intellectual property of my employer, I am looking forward to doing more work in open-source.
