Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Harman is a mechanical engineer turned software entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building model-based engineering and CAE products and 25 years applying math and software to complex engineering problems. As CEO of Infinitive he leads development of cloud, 3D and AI-driven platforms that enable mass-customisable, manufacture-ready designs from a single parameterised CAD source. He has a strong track record commercialising Modelica-based tools—founding deltatheta, creating embeddable Modelica SDKs and taking CyDesign into ESI—bridging research, product and sales across automotive and aerospace clients. A hands-on technologist, he still contributes code to open-source projects such as JGraphT (implementing the Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition), reflecting deep expertise in simulation, graph algorithms and system modelling. He combines technical leadership with practical delivery—running distributed development teams and selling high-value pilot projects to OEMs. Based in Royal Leamington Spa, he’s known for turning academic techniques for DAEs and structural analysis into scalable cloud products that drive real-world manufacturing change.
