SOFTWARE ENGINEER · HAMBURG, DE

Where software
meets the
physical world.

I’m Puya. I build software that makes complex systems easier to work with — from particle accelerator data to FPGA computing.

Each time the electron marker reaches the top of the ring, an orange X-ray pulse travels straight along the tangent while the electrons continue around the curved orbit.

01 / SELECTED WORK

From a signal
to something useful.

A few things I’m building and exploring.
Different layers of the same curiosity.

01 / SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE

PETRA IV
Archive Viewer

Making archived machine data easier to explore. A Python and Qt application built around interactive time-series plots and a clear separation between the interface and data access.

02 / ACCELERATOR CONTROLS

DOOCS Random Signals

A focused C++ test server for generating random signals in the DOOCS control system, with Meson and Catch2.

03 / COMPILER RESEARCH

VersaTile

Exploring compiler approaches for AMD Versal platforms, connecting AI Engines, programmable logic, and processing systems.

02 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE

Curious about
what’s underneath.

Puya AmiriSoftware engineer · Hamburg

I like working where software and hardware meet — and where understanding the system matters as much as writing the code.

My work has taken me from research at DFKI in Saarbrücken to High-Level Controls at DESY in Hamburg. Today, I’m working on PETRA IV software, with a focus on tools that help people access and understand accelerator data.

Alongside scientific software, I’m interested in compilers, heterogeneous computing, and FPGA-based image processing. The common thread is making complex ideas concrete, readable, and useful.

03 / HOW I WORK

A view across
the whole stack.

From a hardware constraint to a useful interface.
Always with clarity in mind.

01

Scientific applications

Python, C++, Qt / PySide6, time-series visualization, and maintainable application architecture.

02

Controls & data

DOOCS, accelerator software, archive access, PostgreSQL, and clearly defined service interfaces.

03

Hardware-aware computing

FPGA platforms, AMD Versal AI Engines, compiler design, and image-processing research.

04 / KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING

Good systems start
with good conversations.

Scientific software, accelerator controls, or computing closer to the hardware — there’s plenty to talk about.
