Graham Knapp is a Lead Developer based in Nantes who combines a PhD-trained engineering background with hands-on Python and data engineering to build tools people love. Since starting his career in 1999 he has translated expertise in 3D modelling, fluid dynamics and infrastructure and telecoms engineering into API design, performance profiling, containerisation and cloud deployments at Acernis. He’s an active open-source contributor and meetup organiser (known on GitHub as @GrahamKnappAcernis) and regularly speaks at academic and industry events. As a former guest lecturer and senior engineer, he brings a rare mix of research rigour and production-minded engineering to code quality, packaging and team practices. He quietly improves developer experience through tooling, linting, metrics and disciplined merge management, making complex systems easier to maintain.
