Hugo Burd

I'm a Canadian software developer. I specialize in remote autonomous systems, things where the overall system capabilities rely on having sufficient brains in the hardware. Think sensors, rovers, satellites.

My code has gone to space; currently just low Earth orbit, and soon the Lunar surface, if everything goes according to plan.

Programming

I've been programming as a hobby since ~2009, professionally since 2017, and full-time since 2021.

At work, I primarily write C++. Since 2025, I have mainly shifted to C outside of work; it is refreshing to work in a bloat-free language.

I don't vibe code and have no interest in it.
