Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIb Green is a visualization architect and open-source leader with 25+ years of engineering experience and 11 years focused on GPU-powered web visualization and geospatial analytics. He led the vis.gl stack (deck.gl, luma.gl, loaders.gl) at Uber and co-founded Unfolded to productize GPU hybrid geospatial compute, later bringing that expertise to Foursquare and OpenAI. Ib combines deep systems and graphics knowledge—WebGL2/WebGPU, Apache Arrow and GPU computing—with hands-on full‑stack contributions to flagship projects like deck.gl and kepler.gl. He’s equally fluent in developer experience and governance, improving demos, build tooling and OAuth integrations while promoting sustainable open-source communities. Based in Miami, he pairs academic rigor from Lund University with a practical track record of shipping performant, production-ready visualization frameworks used across industry.
