Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuan Luies is a CTO and founder with 11 years of experience turning combinatorial optimization research into production-grade software and services. He built a proprietary modeling language (hlpl) in C++, integrated major solvers (CPLEX, Gurobi, LocalSolver, HiGHS, Clp/Cbc), and exposed them via an API-backed SaaS (service.elytica.com) with a web IDE, WebSocket compute fabric, Excel add-in, and Python client. Equally at home in low-level systems and web stacks, he codes in C++, C#, Python and Lua and has taught advanced optimization and C++ courses at North-West University. His PhD in Industrial Engineering underpins a pragmatic focus on solving “impossible” optimization problems for real users, and he often bridges academia and product by shipping research-grade algorithms as user-facing tools. Based in Potchefstroom, South Africa, he uniquely blends deep optimization expertise with full-stack engineering and developer tooling experience.
