Summary
Julian Badillo is a Senior Software Engineer based in Chicago with 11 years of experience building reliable software for scientific and enterprise environments. He has led and operated large-scale computing workflows at CERN and Fermilab, and now applies that systems-level rigor to product development at Numat. Julian blends deep academic training in systems and high-energy physics computing with hands-on engineering—having taught engineering and led development teams earlier in his career. Known as an optimist problem solver with a bittersweet sense of humor, he favors data-driven solutions and clear, maintainable architectures. He excels at bridging research-grade simulation pipelines and production software, enabling teams to move complex science into operational systems. Colleagues would note his uncommon combination of classroom experience, grid-computing expertise, and practical leadership across academia, national labs, and industry.
