Helsinki, Finland
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOlli Etuaho is a Helsinki-based CEO and seasoned computer graphics specialist with 13 years of professional experience and a background at NVIDIA contributing to open-source graphics stacks used on billions of devices. He founded Lockpickle, shipped two indie games, and now applies graphics and interactive-systems expertise as a senior graphics engineer consulting for Higharc while taking selective consulting gigs. His open-source work includes performance and shader improvements to flagship projects like three.js and ANGLE, plus conformance testing for Khronos WebGL—demonstrating deep knowledge of WebGL, GLSL and cross-platform shader translation. Comfortable moving between game design, tooling and low-level renderer/compiler work, he blends entrepreneurial product instincts with proven engineering craftsmanship. An unexpected detail: he has driven build-automation and compiler error-detection improvements in widely used JavaScript 3D tooling, not just renderer code.
