John Stowers
Software Engineer
Summary
🤩
RockstarJohn Stowers is a versatile software engineer with 18 years of experience blending back-end systems, embedded development, and algorithm engineering. A recovering biologist and former postdoc turned lifelong engineer, he contributes to high-profile open-source projects like OpenCV while also building compact Python tooling (e.g., remi) and Python bindings for PCL. His work spans C++, Python, and low-level embedded platforms—shipping image-processing algorithms, point-cloud utilities, and avionics-target fixes for autopilot hardware. Comfortable moving between research-grade code and production-ready systems, he brings a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach that surfaces novel integrations between sensing, algorithms, and lightweight server designs.
