Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulia Altenbuchner is a Senior Software Architect based in Berlin with 10 years of experience building scalable, production-grade geo-spatial systems and HD map services. She blends academic rigor from a PhD in Geomatic Engineering with hands-on engineering at CARIAD and TomTom, designing Java/Spring microservices that assess and improve map quality for autonomous driving. Her background spans research-driven participatory GIS and citizen science to industrial map-matching, routing and API service implementations, giving her a rare perspective that bridges community-focused mapping and safety-critical automotive applications. She frequently moves projects from prototype and visualization to full-scale deployment, and excels at turning spatial research into robust software. Fluent in both research collaboration and agile product teams, she brings deep domain expertise in environmental and geospatial data combined with practical architecture and delivery skills. An interesting throughline in her career is a persistent focus on making complex geospatial information accessible — whether for indigenous communities or for autonomous vehicle systems.
