Senior🎓
Top SchoolPablo Prietz is a Technical Lead with 16 years of software engineering experience, currently shaping platform development at UNEOS in Cologne. He combines a strong academic foundation in computer science and cognitive science with hands-on leadership gained as Lead Software Engineer at Pupil Labs, where he maintained the open-source Pupil eye-tracking platform. Pablo has deep backend expertise in experimental and vision-driven tooling—contributing substantial refactors and integrations to the widely used PsychoPy project’s iohub eye-tracking component. He excels at turning research-grade systems into maintainable production code, evidenced by work on coordinate conversions, monocular gaze fixes, and a "Pupillometry only" mode. Colleagues know him for blending pragmatic engineering with attention to scientific detail and for a tech curiosity kindled by early reading of Heise c't. Fluent in cross-disciplinary problems, he brings both product-focused leadership and low-level systems craftsmanship to teams.
