Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLóránt Pintér is a seasoned software engineer and technology leader with 15 years of experience, currently co-founding and serving as CTO of Cornucopia Machines where he builds end-to-end IoT and AI-enabled solutions for backyard food growing. Previously a Senior Principal Software Engineer at Gradle Inc., he led teams improving build performance, distributed caching, and incremental compilation for a tool used by Java and Android developers worldwide. He combines deep systems and build-engine expertise—demonstrated by open-source contributions to high-profile projects like Emscripten and Gradle—with hands-on hardware skills from PCB to cloud. His career spans low-level performance work in C++ and JVM internals to automation and developer tooling in Java and Kotlin, reflecting a pragmatic full-stack mindset. Unusually for a CTO, he pairs production-grade engineering with direct agricultural product experience, turning restaurant-grade growing practices into consumer IoT products. Based in Hungary with an MSc in Computer Science, he thrives on projects that impact broad developer ecosystems and real-world users alike.
