Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAleksandar Stojiljković is a Graphics Engineering Manager based in Helsinki with 14 years of experience building high-performance rendering and ML-accelerated systems across Mapbox, Intel, Samsung, and Nokia. He combines hands-on expertise in Metal, OpenGL and WebGL with leadership of 3D and graphics teams, shipping production map rendering and 3D terrain features. A proven performance engineer, he has contributed notable optimizations to TensorFlow.js (WebGL-packed ops) and Mapbox (fill-extrusion, tile/memory improvements), showing a rare blend of ML backend and real-time graphics work. His background spans embedded mobile graphics stacks to browser and native map engines, and he often bridges platform-specific challenges between Android, Windows, and macOS. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic refactors that reduce recomputation and for pushing GPU-heavy workloads into efficient, cross-platform implementations.
