Dr Maciej Cieslak
Engineering Consultant
Senior automotive engineer and software architect. I gravitate toward the hard problems – the ones with a scientific R&D angle, where the physics matters and the engineering has to be rigorous. I build simulation platforms, vehicle dynamics models, and systems designed to handle real complexity.

What I do
AI & Agentic Engineering
LLM-integrated workflows using the Claude API – multi-step pipelines with human-in-the-loop review gates and automated evaluation, shipped in CI/CD.
Full-Stack Software
Python/FastAPI, TypeScript/Angular, and REST APIs backed by AWS and GCP – from proof-of-concept through to production platforms at 500k–1M+ line scale.
Physics-Based Modelling
Multi-domain simulation engines covering mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems; Simulink/Simscape CAE tooling and combinatorial architecture search.
Signal Processing & ML
ANN-based sensor data modelling, biometric and vibration signal analysis, and ADAS sensor validation – PhD-level work applied from research to production.
Vehicle Dynamics & ADAS
Longitudinal and lateral dynamics, ADAS feature development (L1–L4), SIL/HIL integration, and objective/subjective vehicle testing on proving grounds.
Technical Leadership
Led cross-functional teams of up to 11 engineers – defined software strategy, introduced CI/CD culture from scratch, and translated ambiguous problems into well-architected products.
Try it · Ride dynamics
A live quarter-car + seat ride model – 3 degrees of freedom (wheel, vehicle body, and seated occupant), the same vertical-dynamics physics behind my Fast Ride Model (FRM) work, solved in real time in your browser with an RK4 integrator. The plot reports the acceleration measured at the seat/occupant interface – the ISO 2631 ride-comfort metric. Drag the sliders to feel how the suspension and seat trade off against what the passenger actually feels.
Contact
Open to consulting engagements and senior roles at the intersection of AI, software, and engineering – whether that's agentic systems, physics-based modelling, or bringing rigorous software practice to technically complex domains.
