Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHenry Schreiner is a computational physicist and research software engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance scientific software and developer tooling for High Energy Physics at Princeton University and IRIS-HEP. He specializes in bridging compiled high-performance code with interactive Python workflows, packaging and build systems, and developer experience—maintaining and leading projects such as pypa/build, cibuildwheel, pybind11, scikit-build, and several Scikit-HEP libraries. Henry authored widely used tools like CLI11 and Modern CMake, contributes deeply to packaging ecosystems (conda-forge, pypa) and WebAssembly Python (Pyodide), and leads web and tooling efforts for LHC-era infrastructure. His background spans GPU model fitting, FPGA-powered field deployments, and autonomous data acquisition systems, giving him rare cross-domain expertise from embedded hardware to large-scale Python packaging.
