Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmir Abdol is a build engineer with 13 years of software engineering experience, specializing in CMake, build systems, CI/CD and C++ across both open-source and commercial projects. He has led reimplementations and API design—most notably migrating JASP’s build system to CMake and shaping CMake APIs at Qt—improving cross-platform builds and release automation. At Axelera AI he designed versioning and release workflows tied to package management and containerized CI, and he established release manager practices that bridged engineering and deployment. His academic background (PhD in Computational Biology) and experience building a high-performance agent-based C++ simulator give him a rare combination of scientific modeling insight and pragmatic DevOps craftsmanship. Active in prominent projects like Qt Base and JASP, he focuses on maintainability and reproducible build pipelines that scale across architectures and platforms.
