Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNiklas Ulvinge is a Senior Software Engineer based in Gothenburg with 18 years of experience tackling performance-critical problems across GPGPU, HPC, graph algorithms, and SIMD. He combines deep academic grounding from Chalmers with practical compiler and low-level systems experience gained at companies like Arm and Imsys AB. Niklas has a track record of squeezing latency and memory overhead out of real systems, from optimizing polygon handling and memory management in the popular mapbox-gl-native Android client to working on compiler-level performance. He thrives on difficult optimization challenges and building high-throughput, parallel solutions rather than high-level glue code. Colleagues value his blend of algorithmic rigor and hands-on engineering across embedded, mobile and server contexts. Outside the obvious, he often bridges compiler concepts into application-level optimizations to get end-to-end performance gains.
