Daniel Meilak writes C++ for motor-controlled fitness equipment. As a software engineer at EGYM, his work connects directly with hardware, mapping variable torque and lever positions to interactive user interfaces.
He focuses on bridging the gap between heavy-duty mechanics and smooth software delivery, handling everything from Qt frontends to networking gym machines for real-time interaction. During hack days, he has even turned 300kg shoulder press machines into fully functional multiplayer Pong arcades.
Before diving into fitness tech, Daniel earned his doctorate in computational physics, surviving nine years of academic study.
