Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolLior Galanti is a Principal Software Development Engineer with 15+ years building high-performance, production-grade systems spanning bioinformatics, HPC, and GPU software. He’s authored Pheniqs, a multithreaded Bayesian barcode classifier that has processed billions of sequencing reads in production, and currently drives GPU-accelerated primary analysis for Roche’s SBX sequencing platform. His work at AMD and Lucata shows deep expertise porting and refactoring graph and math libraries for ROCm and novel processor architectures, including solving tricky warp-size and distributed memory allocation issues. Lior pairs research-scale algorithm design (graph algorithms for HLA recombination, sequencing decoders) with pragmatic engineering—he still maintains legacy tools and core infrastructure he built years ago. Based in Westchester, he balances hands-on tinkering (from plumbing to low-level RAID recovery) with leading complex software projects. Colleagues rely on him to turn obscure low-level constraints into reliable, long-lived systems.
