Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Presland is a software engineer with 8+ years focused on data acquisition and analytics, currently building low-latency, high-throughput imaging systems at DECTRIS in Switzerland. He blends scientific imaging and data-intensive application expertise with hands-on systems engineering—from real-time CPU/GPU processing and visualization to scalable back-end data management. Previously he architected and implemented sub-100ms biometric inference pipelines on bare-metal Kubernetes, combining video ingestion, vector search and event-driven microservices for border-security deployments. His background spans embedded real-time control, industrial robotics, and particle physics research, giving him deep experience in signal processing, high-performance C++ and distributed systems. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks, edge compute and hardware integration, he is as fluent designing low-level motion-control firmware as he is shipping containerized ML services. A PhD-trained physicist, he brings a researcher's rigor to pragmatic engineering problems, often optimizing for deterministic latency in data-heavy pipelines.
