Simone Celestino

Senior Software Engineer & Tech Lead · Munich, Germany

Former HPC researcher, now tech lead. Still curious.

I build and maintain the software platform that turns wind turbine inspection data into reports and decisions: a C++/Qt desktop application, databases, REST APIs and a cloud customer portal. I hold a PhD in Mathematical and Computer Sciences, with a thesis on parallel software performance evaluation. Outside work I maintain AmicoScript, a local transcription app, and tinker with 3D printing and home automation.
