Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Carinhas is a Principal Software Engineer and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience bridging scientific research and production software, now focused on cloud-native backends and high-speed data IO. He began as a PhD physicist building Fortran models on supercomputers and has since led engineering teams and companies (including Fortuitous Technologies and Zapata Computing) delivering solutions in Python, Go, Rust, Apache Arrow/Flight, and multi-cloud migrations. Philip combines deep systems and performance expertise—Linux, networking, DevOps, and capacity planning—with practical product delivery, having run a 14-year consultancy and led customer-facing professional services. Colleagues value his collaborative leadership and mentorship, and he still carries the uncommon lens of a physicist-turned-engineer that informs algorithmic and architectural choices.
