Top SchoolJustin Novosad is a Staff Software Developer with 14 years of experience building high-performance graphics, vision, and AI systems across Google, DeepMind, The Browser Company, and Autodesk. He combines a strong academic foundation in computer engineering and biomedical imaging with hands-on expertise in Chrome GPU, rendering pipelines, and test automation for widely used web-platform-tests. Justin’s work sits at the intersection of research and production: shipping performant browser graphics while contributing spec-compliant tests that improve web compatibility for millions. Based in Lorraine, Quebec, he focuses on ambitious, humane computing—applying math and CS to “help solve intelligence” while keeping systems reliable and spec-driven. An uncommon thread in his career is a continuous blend of academic teaching/research early on with deep production engineering at scale.
