Summary
Anupam Biswas is a Senior Software Developer with 11 years of experience building safety-critical Automatic Train Supervision (ATS) systems for urban rail, currently at Hitachi Rail in Vancouver. Trained as an aerospace engineer (IIT Kharagpur) with an MASc from UBC, he started by developing CFD and multi-physics codes in C/C++, MATLAB and Python, bringing deep numerical and parallel-programming expertise (OpenMP, CUDA) to transportation software. His career blends research-grade simulation experience with production ATS development at Thales and GTS, enabling him to translate complex physical models into robust, real-time control software. Known for being goal-oriented and collaborative, he balances independent delivery with thoughtful problem analysis and a drive to deepen domain understanding. He maintains an active GitHub presence focused on ATS-related tooling, reflecting a hands-on, systems-level approach to railway software. Colleagues rely on him when projects demand both low-level performance tuning and rigorous safety-conscious design.
