Nils Woetzel is a software developer with 11 years of experience applying advanced IT methods to solve problems in computational biology and chemistry. He modernizes and maintains mission-critical scientific middleware and acquisition systems in C++17, integrating hardware via TCP/IP, modbus, CORBA and gRPC while bringing legacy 32-bit C code into a tested 64-bit, containerized development workflow. His background spans HPC, GPU acceleration, non-linear optimization and MVC web services, giving him a rare blend of low-level instrument control and high-level web deployment skills. At Bruker he enabled commercial RapidScan spectroscopy and established device emulation-based testing to speed development, and earlier work includes leading the BioChemical Library project that delivered novel protein-structure prediction tools. Based in Heidelberg, he combines academic rigor (PhD-level computational structural biology) with pragmatic engineering practices like CMake/Conan builds, unit/integration testing, and product change coordination.
