Summary
Daniel Meilak is a Senior Software Engineer based in Munich with eight years of experience blending scientific rigor and production software development. He transitioned from a PhD in computational magnetism at the University of York—where his thesis focused on atomistic simulations of iron oxides—into engineering roles at EGYM, progressing from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer. Comfortable in C++, Python and Fortran, he brings strong numerical and algorithmic skills alongside practical toolchain expertise (Git, Bash, LaTeX) to build reliable, performance-sensitive systems. Colleagues rely on him for complex problem-solving that spans physics-informed models to deployable code, and he maintains a continuous learning mindset informed by both research and product delivery. Outside work he’s a gaming enthusiast, which informs his appreciation for user-facing polish and interactive performance.
