Summary
Damiano Lodi is a software engineer with 8 years’ experience building machine vision libraries in C++ and OpenCV, currently developing core tooling for Opto Engineering’s R&D group. A physics graduate with a background in nanophotonics, he blends rigorous scientific training with practical embedded-systems expertise, having written high-performance firmware, refactored FPGA Verilog, and debugged PCBs. He has led small teams and projects—improving production workflows for laser manufacturing and automating lab measurements to cut analysis time by over 75%—bringing both technical ownership and project management discipline. Comfortable across the stack from CMake-based build systems to low-power IoT firmware, he focuses on robust, testable implementations for industrial vision and embedded products. Notably, his path from thesis-driven research to product-focused R&D reflects an unusual mix of experimentation, delivery, and systems-level thinking.
