Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAriel Kadouri is a software engineering manager based in New York with 11 years of experience building mapping and spatial systems for ADAS and location-driven products. He progressed from hands-on Android and GIS development to leading engineering teams at Woven by Toyota after CARMERA’s acquisition, combining product delivery with deep domain knowledge in geospatial data pipelines. His open-source contributions to Shapely show practical expertise in geometric algorithms and API design, including adding single-sided buffers and refining line-merge behavior. Comfortable across backend systems, PostGIS ETL, and front-end visualization, he translates complex spatial requirements into reliable, production-ready services. Collected from fieldwork to fleet-scale mapping, his career blends user-focused iteration with low-level geometry improvements that quietly improve downstream safety and performance.
