Summary
Pavlo Bashmakov is a software engineer specializing in computer vision, 3D mapping and lidar SDKs, with 10 years of experience building perception and mapping systems for robotics and autonomous machines. He spent the last four years architecting Ouster's multi-platform lidar SDK, custom compressed file formats, and OpenGL/WebGL visualizations, and now applies that expertise to autonomous drone development at B GARAGE. Comfortable across C++, Python, WASM/Emscripten and cloud streaming, he blends modern ML curiosity with classical SLAM and systems engineering to make sensor data useful in real products. A serial founder and early technical leader, he also led an AR/VR lab and launched product-focused teams, showing an unusual mix of hands-on engineering and company-building. Based in San Francisco, Pavlo pairs deep technical design (file formats, cross-OS bindings, mapping integrations) with pragmatic product instincts for real-world autonomy.
