Summary
Carlos Gavidia-calderon is a Senior Research Software Engineer at the Alan Turing Institute with 14 years of experience bridging systems engineering and research-driven software development. He combines deep academic training—a PhD from UCL and a master's from PUCP—with hands-on roles from consultancy at ThoughtWorks to systems engineering in Peru, demonstrating fluency across production systems, machine learning pipelines, and research software best practices. At the Turing Institute he progressed from Research Software Engineer to senior technical lead, while also advising and collaborating with The Open University, showing a knack for translating research into robust, reusable tooling. He has taught and supervised across universities in Peru and the UK, bringing pedagogical rigor to code quality, reproducibility, and collaborator onboarding. Colleagues value his systems-minded approach: he thinks like an engineer but prioritizes reproducible research outcomes. Fluent in both industry delivery and academic inquiry, he often operates where long-lived infrastructure meets experimental science.
