Summary
Leila Alves is a C and C++ software developer with eight years of experience translating complex physics problems into reliable, production-grade code. Trained as a physicist with a doctorate in high-energy nuclear physics from Universidade de São Paulo, she transitioned from heavy-ion collision simulations and magnetometry to building and maintaining validation tools for integrated circuit design at Siemens EDA. Her work spans low-level data processing, serialization, CLI and Qt GUIs, and unit-test-driven maintenance within collaborative, customer-facing teams using GitLab, Jira and Confluence. Comfortable across research and industry, she has written simulation software to optimize ultra-precision magnetometer measurements and models of quark dynamics—skills that give her a rigorous, simulation-first approach to software design. Based in Saskatoon and originally from Brazil, she brings curiosity and a habit of asking “How can I program that?” to quickly prototype multiple solution paths and deliver practical results.
