Justin Gilmer is a Data Engineer with a decade of experience translating computational science research into production-ready data systems, currently building data solutions at PingThings. He combines a PhD-level background in materials science and extensive hands-on development of open-source Python scientific software with industry best practices like Git, CI, and unit testing. His career bridges academic simulation work—developing parsers and LAMMPS-based analysis for molecular dynamics—to applied data engineering, giving him a strong foundation in numerical methods and reproducible workflows. Based in South Carolina, Justin is comfortable moving projects from research prototypes to maintainable pipelines and brings a knack for automating scientific analysis that few traditional data engineers possess.
