Felix Gruber is a Software Engineer III with 15 years of experience, blending applied mathematics and practical software engineering to automate structural load analyses for fibre-optic deployments. With a PhD in Applied Mathematics from RWTH Aachen, he has deep expertise in numerical methods and solver development, having led research projects and taught C++ programming and numerical courses. He transitioned that domain knowledge into industry roles building SaaS planning tools, ML prototypes for asset detection, and optimization-driven automation for telegraph pole analysis. Based in Eindhoven, he pairs strong backend skills (Python, PostgreSQL) with mentorship experience and a habit of improving technical documentation in notable open-source projects like the deal.II finite element library. This mix of rigorous academic research, hands-on engineering, and attention to clarity makes him effective at turning complex mathematical models into reliable, production-ready systems.
