Summary
David Meignan is a software engineer and consultant with a PhD in Computer Science and over a decade of experience bridging academic research and applied development in optimization, data analytics, and machine learning. He has led funded research on interactive metaheuristics (DFG) and interactive optimization (Google Research Awards) and now applies that expertise as founder of Meignan Consulting and as a software architect/firmware developer at feelSpace GmbH. His work spans decision support systems, navigation algorithms, and embedded firmware, reflecting a rare combination of theoretical rigor and production-facing engineering. Based in Osnabrück, he is comfortable moving between research projects and hands-on implementation, turning complex optimization models into deployable software and systems. An unusual strength is his track record of securing competitive research funding and translating those results into commercial consulting and product work.
