Summary
Andrés Piniella is an Industrial Chartered Engineer and technical consultant with 11 years’ experience building and managing advanced makerspaces, cleanrooms and atomic-resolution scanning probe microscopy facilities. He combines hands‑on lab leadership—setting up ultra-high vacuum variable-temperature microscopes and running Class 100/10,000 cleanrooms—with growing full‑stack development skills and practical CAD experience. As a facilities and assets manager he has overseen £750k+ in equipment, created bespoke apps for asset tracking, and led complex commissioning and decommissioning projects across community and research organisations. He co-founded community initiatives to retain local wealth and run large public maker hubs, demonstrating a rare blend of technical precision, regulatory stewardship, and community-focused entrepreneurship. Based in England, he is equally comfortable in the cleanroom or the codebase, and prefers collaborating on GitLab for his software work.
