Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJakob Hunsballe is a senior software engineer and AI specialist with nine years of professional experience building high-performance, real-time systems spanning game engines, computer vision, and geotechnical visualization. He combines a physics and astrophysics background with deep practical expertise in multi-threaded C++, CUDA, Python, and FPGA-targeted neural networks to deliver low-latency imaging, simulation and modeling tools. Jakob has co-founded an AI startup and contributed to Unity's NavMesh components, reflecting a blend of product-minded engineering and open-source impact on widely used game AI tooling. His work emphasizes numerics and physically inspired algorithms—MHD simulations, simulated annealing, swarm behaviors and genetic methods—applied end-to-end from data pipelines and quantization-aware training to optimized runtime deployments. Notably, he bridges research and production by turning complex physical models into interactive visualizations and embedded perception systems.
