Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Carniato is a senior software engineer and technical lead based in The Hague, with a PhD-trained background and over a decade of experience building high-performance scientific and engineering software. He has led cross-functional teams and shipped production C++ libraries, C# WPF front-ends, Python bindings, and CI/CD pipelines—most notably founding MeshKernel, an open-source C++ mesh generation library with a growing contributor base. His work spans numerical simulation, HPC, and applied geometry: algorithms for mesh refinement, spatial searches on spherical coordinates, and memory- and performance-focused optimizations feature prominently. Comfortable across the stack, he bridges low-level systems (Fortran/C++) with modern tooling (CMake, TeamCity, GitHub PR workflows) and developer-facing APIs (MeshKernelNET, MeshKernelPy). Now at ASML, he continues to apply rigorous engineering from research-grade simulation to industrial software delivery. A curious problem-solver, he combines academic publication experience with hands-on product leadership and a track record of turning complex numerical methods into usable developer tools.
