Summary
Piotr Stępnicki is a CTO and R&D-focused software leader with 13 years of experience building scientific and machine-learning systems, currently leading development of a global hydrological forecast model at Blue WaterIntelligence. He founded SEER Ltd. to deliver research-grade modelling software and has hands-on experience in machine vision, deep learning and cloud deployments from roles at Cosmose and his own consultancy. Piotr combines a strong theoretical foundation—a 5.0/5.0 M.Sc. in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from the University of Warsaw—with practical engineering, having implemented core deep learning components and managed development teams. His background spans academia and industry, from polariton research and microfluidics to production ML, which gives him uncommon fluency in translating complex physical models into scalable software. He thrived in deep-tech environments, including Entrepreneur First, and often bridges research questions and product constraints to ship robust, scientifically grounded systems. Colleagues describe him as a technical generalist who prefers rigorous modelling over black-box solutions and who architects systems with reproducibility and scientific correctness in mind.
