Summary
Leonardo Echeverria is a software engineer based in Zurich with 11 years of experience bridging scientific research and industrial software development, currently building products at Schaerer Ltd while running a self-employed practice that blends software, entrepreneurship, and instrument making. Trained at ETH Zürich and experienced in high-performance computing, mathematical modelling, and applied computational methods, he has worked in research environments (ETH Institute of Geophysics) and machine engineering firms, delivering robust solutions across simulation, automation, and manufacturing contexts. Curious, communicative, and multilingual, he pairs technical depth with teaching experience and a knack for translating complex math into practical code. A certified professional diver and environmental advocate, he applies disciplined stress-management techniques from diving to high-pressure engineering problems and recently co-launched a social engineering project linking Swiss expertise with Peruvian communities.
