Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Guénette is a software developer based in Quebec City with eight years of hands-on experience in robotics and mapping systems. He has contributed to the widely used libpointmatcher ICP library, improving C++ code quality, modernizing pointer usage, and adding Python bindings—work that reflects strong backend and systems-level skills. At Université Laval and Norlab he supported research and taught undergraduates while leading software for the student autonomous vehicle team, demonstrating an ability to bridge research, education, and production projects. Currently at POINT.LAZ, he focuses on practical implementations of perception and mapping technologies, combining a software engineering degree with a background in embedded robotics platforms. Notably, his early training in lutherie hints at a meticulous, craft-oriented approach to engineering and prototyping.
