Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnders Bennehag is a Senior Software Engineer with 17 years of experience building performant systems from embedded DSPs to cloud-scale distributed and machine-learning platforms. Currently at Mapbox he works on the Valhalla routing engine—contributing path-finding, optimization and robustness improvements to a prominent open-source OpenStreetMap routing project—while his background spans Rust, C++, Go, Python and AWS. He has founded a routing startup focused on EV-aware path-finding and previously led core bot-detection and high-throughput ML infrastructure at Distil Networks, showing a consistent focus on latency-sensitive, data-driven systems. Anders combines hands-on low-level optimization experience (electric motor control and signal processing) with large-scale streaming and ML pipelines, and often improves reliability through better test automation and tooling. Based in Avon, Colorado, he brings a scientist’s rigor from an M.Sc. in Complex Adaptive Systems to practical engineering trade-offs across the full stack.
