Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakob Leben is a Senior Software Engineer and computer scientist with 16 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, real-time and embedded systems across domains from radiation therapy and satellite analytics to audio/vision signal processing. He specializes in C/C++ production software and CUDA acceleration, with a strong research background in DSP, audio feature extraction, computer vision and programming language design, and practical DevOps experience deploying CI/CD and containerized workloads in the cloud. Jakob has shipped award-winning products (e.g., Limbic Media’s AURORA lighting system) and mission-critical medical device software at Cosylab, demonstrating an unusual blend of research-driven algorithm work and production-grade reliability. He prototypes in Python and has applied parallelization, vectorization and lock-free concurrency to meet strict latency and throughput targets. Based in Victoria, BC, he pairs a PhD-level understanding of algorithms with a musician’s sensitivity to signal and time, which informs his work on audio-visual systems and motion-tracking pipelines.
