Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJure Repinc is a seasoned software engineer from Slovenia with 13 years of hands-on experience in C++, Qt (Nokia Certified Qt Developer), Python and KDE-focused application development. He combines desktop and embedded systems expertise—contributing to scientific projects like Avogadro’s crystallography backend and improving SPI for ATtiny Arduino cores—demonstrating strengths in both high-level UI/tooling and low-level performance-critical code. Longstanding involvement in open-source communities and localization (KDE, Mandriva, PC-BSD) complements his practical Linux, Plone and web skills, while his role at Cosylab underscores work on mission-driven engineering. Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he also brings a translator’s eye for clarity in software internationalization and a curiosity for graphics (OpenGL) and language learning (French).

Feb 2014 - Jun 2014
Avogadro 1 is not under active development, the repository was archived in September 2021. Development of Avogadro 2 is being done at https://github.com/openchemistry/avogadrolibs. Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed for cross-platform use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:12 commits in 3 months
Contributions summary:Jure significantly contributed to the `avospglib` library, which is used for crystallographic calculations within the Avogadro project. The user extended the library with new functionalities, particularly related to spacegroup data access and OpenBabel integration. Key contributions include adding the `toOpenBabel()` functions and extending the `getDataset()` functions. They also implemented the `reduceToAsymmetricUnit()` function and improved the user interface for spacegroup selection.

Contributions summary:Jure primarily focused on improving the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) communication functionality within the Arduino core for ATtiny microcontrollers. Their work included fixing bugs, optimizing the code for size and performance, and implementing different SPI modes. They refined the USI (Universal Serial Interface) clockout routines to enhance SPI communication stability and efficiency. The user also made the code more explicit and easier to optimize by selecting clockout functions at compile time.
