Top SchoolChristophe Thibault is a seasoned principal technical leader and engineering manager with over two decades of experience building high-performance software across desktop, multimedia, and large-scale backend systems. Currently leading Tesla’s Autopilot Data Infrastructure team, he combines deep systems and C/C++ expertise with product-focused leadership to run data collection and processing pipelines for autonomous driving. His career includes driving core experiences at Blizzard (Battle.net, telemetry, video pipelines) and pioneering media software at Nullsoft and Cockos (Winamp, SHOUTcast, REAPER), reflecting rare cross-domain mastery of audio/video codecs, low-level OS integration, and distributed services.
