Top SchoolHernan Saez is a software engineer with 13 years of experience building mobile and front-end systems, currently contributing at ClassDojo after a five-year engineering stint at Cruise. He combines deep practical experience in iOS and cross-platform mobile development with low-level graphics and rendering expertise showcased by his long-running open-source game engine, Crimild. His contributions to Cruise’s webviz—improving scale-invariant text rendering, high-resolution font support, custom render states, and Draco-compressed GLTF integration—demonstrate a knack for solving tricky visualization and performance problems. Based in Buenos Aires, he brings a maker’s curiosity (self-described “Mad Scientist”) and a history of R&D work from accessibility-focused apps to AR and game tools. Colleagues rely on him for careful refactors and shipping polished rendering pipelines that bridge research prototypes and production systems.
