Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Goetz is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building cross-platform C++ and Python systems for technically demanding scientific visualization and CFD workflows. At Tecplot he led development of a shared Vulkan rendering engine, high-order finite-element support, and the open-source PyTecplot ecosystem while modernizing company-wide build, CI, and developer tooling. His background as a particle-physics researcher and postdoc gives him deep expertise in scientific computing, large mixed-language codebases, and real-time data systems. He excels at rendering, visualization, and modernization of mature codebases, and often bridges research-grade algorithms with production engineering. Unusually, he pairs low-level graphics and data-model work with developer ergonomics—shipping both a rendering engine used across three commercial products and a Python CLI adopted company-wide.
