Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMaciej Wójcik is a Scientific Software Engineer with 11 years of experience bridging high-level web technologies and low-level autonomous embedded systems. Based in Saarbrücken, he modernizes and packages scientific software like GROMACS-SWAXS and WAXSiS while introducing CI/CD, containerization, and cluster tooling for reproducible research. He pairs embedded firmware expertise—contributing STM32 support and RTC fixes to the NuttX RTOS—with backend and packaging work in projects such as Spack to ensure scientific workflows run reliably across platforms. Past roles span full-stack and embedded development for automotive, aerospace, and medical devices, giving him a practical grasp of hardware-software integration. Notably, he brings an uncommon combination of bioinformatics training and hands-on RTOS contributions, enabling him to diagnose unexpected behavior from source code through to production deployments.
