Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandros Giavaras is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scientific and data-driven applications, specializing in C++-based computational physics, multi-phase fluid mechanics, and scalable Python backends. He combines deep academic training (PhD-level work in FEM for viscous flows) with practical expertise in OpenFOAM, deal.II, Trilinos, MPI, OpenMP and modern C++11/14, while also shipping machine learning and cloud-integration features using Python, Java, Spark and Django. His recent contributions include extending Apache Libcloud with LXC/LXD container drivers and migrating to the LXD REST API, reflecting a knack for clean refactors that bridge research code and production tooling. Comfortable across research labs and startups, he now works from Milton Keynes and brings a rare mix of numerical methods, parallel computing and full-stack engineering to complex simulation and ML problems.
