Summary
Jan Kašpar is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scientific and analysis software, primarily in C++ and increasingly in Python, with a strong record at CERN and the Institute of Physics. He has led a small interdisciplinary team for about five years and received recognition from the CMS collaboration for his software contributions. His work spans low-level device drivers and high-level analysis tools—recently developing electron microscopy software using C#, .NET, WPF, C++, and Rust across Windows and Linux. Comfortable in international, multicultural teams, he combines rigorous analytical thinking from a Ph.D. in elementary particle physics with practical systems-building skills (Linux, shell scripting, ROOT) and maintains several AUR packages. Jan values clean, elegant solutions and autonomy that lets him chain tools into reliable, end-to-end systems while knowing when to ask for help. Based in Olomouc, Czechia, he is fluent in English and French and brings both scientific depth and pragmatic engineering to complex problems.
