Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRohit Goswami is a systems-focused software engineer and researcher with 11+ years of experience building and optimizing scientific computing infrastructure, currently working on the Metatensor ecosystem at EPFL and pursuing doctoral research in physical sciences. He blends deep *nix and FOSS pedigree—ex-LineageOS maintainer and long-time contributor to projects like SciPy, NumPy, Spack and LFortran—with practical package maintenance, performance engineering, and compiler work (notably adding core math intrinsics to LFortran and HiGHS integration in SciPy). Comfortable across C++, LLVM, Fortran, and Python toolchains, he also improves developer ergonomics through docs, CI, and Emacs tooling. An active community educator and Carpentries instructor, he mentors contributors and has guided Summer of Nix participants, reflecting a commitment to reproducible research and open collaboration. Based in Reykjavík, he brings interdisciplinary curiosity—linking computational chemistry, photonics, and high-performance software—to deliver robust, well-tested solutions.
