Summary
Christopher Gibson is an engineering manager leading Zoox's Road Network team, building the tools and infrastructure that provide high-definition semantic maps enabling autonomous vehicles to navigate real cities. With 15 years in software engineering and deep expertise in advanced graphics, 3D math, and rendering—honed through roles at DreamWorks and Amazon Lab126—he brings a rare combination of production visualization and systems/pipeline engineering. He has a strong track record modernizing artist pipelines and shipping tooling that supported large teams and major animated features, and now applies that discipline to scalable mapping systems for autonomy. Comfortable in C++, Python and Java and exploring Rust, he blends hands-on implementation with people leadership to turn complex spatial algorithms into dependable infrastructure. Based in Belmont, CA, he’s equally at home optimizing low-level graphics performance as he is leading cross-functional teams to deliver safety-critical mapping software.
