Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJorge Díaz is a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building mission-critical systems at the intersection of software, physics, and geometry. He has led avionics, GNC, and power designs for flight hardware—including a cubesat launched from the ISS and a 30-lb lunar‑race drone—and helped author an embedded OS deployed on millions of consumer devices at Google. Today he leads visual-inertial SLAM, dense 3D reconstruction, and simulation work, reimplementing core factor‑graph math (GTSAM) for greater correctness and performance. A pragmatic technical lead and engineering manager, he pairs hands-on contributions to widely used open-source projects like gRPC with budgeting, planning, and stakeholder communication. His background spanning MIT astronautics, physics, and computer engineering gives him a rare ability to translate geometric and physical intuition into production-grade software.
