Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLenka Pitonakova is a Senior Software Engineer based in Vancouver with a rare blend of academic depth and 18 years of hands-on engineering across simulations, robotics, games and full-stack systems. With a PhD in collective intelligence and an MSc in bio-inspired AI, she architects complex multi-agent and autonomous systems using Unreal Engine, C++ and Python, and integrates them with robotics middleware like ROS2. She has shipped humanoid robot simulators, UAV digital twins for defense, and LumaTale — an Unreal-based tool for interactive 3D narratives — while consulting on realistic NPC AI for game studios. Lenka combines technical leadership (team lead roles and founding a consultancy) with teaching experience, making her equally comfortable mentoring engineers or owning end-to-end product delivery. Her background in counselling psychology uniquely informs her approach to human-centred interaction design in autonomous and interactive systems. She seeks projects at the intersection of simulation, autonomy and storytelling where modeling complex behaviour matters as much as usability.
