Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Loy is a Staff Software Engineer based in Columbus, Ohio with nine years of professional experience and a decade-plus background in scientific computing and numerical simulation. He has led cross-functional C++ and Python projects for distributed-memory multiphysics tools—most recently at Anaconda after senior and management roles at SparkCognition—and co-founded a bio-focused startup, demonstrating both technical depth and entrepreneurial drive. His PhD-level research on phonon transport produced orders-of-magnitude speedups and informs his approach to high-performance, parallelized code and validation testing. Comfortable coordinating large teams and contributing across the stack, he has a track record of integrating finite element technology into complex pipelines and running multi-team initiatives to completion. Notably, he pairs deep domain expertise in heat transfer and discretization methods with practical product delivery in commercial and startup settings.
