Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJochen Jankowai is a PhD-trained software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in scientific visualization, modern C++ and GPU programming. Currently a Software Engineer II at Electronic Arts, he brings research-honed expertise from Linköping University where he developed visualization toolkits (Inviwo, VTK, ParaView) and taught courses in visualization and computational modelling. His open-source contributions to the prominent Inviwo project include OpenGL/GLSL enhancements—depth-stencil handling, raycaster improvements and post-processing image processors—demonstrating an ability to bridge low-level graphics plumbing with higher-level visualization features. Comfortable moving between research and production contexts, he has a track record of turning advanced tensor- and multivariate-visualization ideas into robust, reusable code. Based in Norrköping, Sweden, he pairs deep technical rigor with practical product delivery at scale.
