Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatrin Schmid is a Senior System Engineer based in Sydney with nine years of deep experience at the intersection of AI, computer graphics and geospatial systems, currently exploring AI and graphics for gaming on NVIDIA’s Lightspeed team. She has a strong production pedigree from visual effects and animation studios (Weta, DreamWorks, Digital Domain, Blue Sky) where she built rendering pipelines, procedural geometry systems, and large-scale distributed rendering and CI frameworks. More recently she led cloud-based photogrammetry and LiDAR digital-twin initiatives at Propeller Aero and initiated the company’s first AI projects, bridging research and production. Katrin contributes to open-source neural rendering projects and writes for industry outlets, combining academic rigor (master’s with distinction) with practical systems engineering. An uncommon strength is her ability to span low-level graphics and renderer optimization up to cloud-scale geospatial processing and applied AI, making her adept at turning complex visual research into production-ready systems.
