Julian Heinovski is a systems software engineer with 11 years of experience blending academic research and practical engineering in vehicular networking, cooperative driving, and platooning. He holds a PhD from TU Berlin and built PlaFoSim, a Python-based simulator used to study platoon formation, while publishing over 20 peer-reviewed works and winning the Best Poster Award at IEEE VNC 2024. Julian has significant hands-on experience administering large Linux fleets and contributing to prominent open-source projects like Veins, where he enhanced TraCI interfaces and telemetry for simulation analysis. Now at Berliner Feuerwehr he applies his research mindset to requirements engineering, system validation and integration of mission-critical dispatch, radio and data platforms. His background as a DJ and event founder reveals a knack for real-time coordination and user-focused system design that complements his distributed-systems expertise.
