Summary
Glenn Pierce is a versatile software developer with over a decade of experience building everything from low-level instrument control and robotics middleware to web applications and image-processing tools. He specializes in C/C++, Python, C#, Java and PHP, and has a strong track record delivering cross-platform libraries (with Python bindings), Blender extensions, and robot control systems for Engineered Arts’ Robothespian. His background in scientific software at Oxford includes efficient memory-conscious image stitching, FPGA/PIC work, and scripting-enabled frameworks that bridged research and practical experimentation. Comfortable across embedded, desktop and web domains, he combines deep technical breadth with a habit of introducing better development practices like version control and maintainable OOP designs. Based in St. Austell, UK, he’s equally at home crafting real-time instrument drivers and high-level chatbots that integrate web backends, reflecting a pragmatic blend of systems-level rigor and user-facing creativity.
