Senior🎓
Top SchoolRhys Goldstein is a Geometry Processing Developer with 8+ years of experience turning advanced algorithms into practical tools for scientists, engineers, and designers. He has a strong track record at research-industrial intersections—15 years at Autodesk Research where he led space-analysis tool development and published award-winning work—and now builds high-performance geometry solutions at Metafold 3D. His background spans simulation of natural processes (cloud light transport, brain self-assembly), architectural space analysis, and parallelized inverse modeling for geophysics, reflecting rare breadth across domains. Rhys pairs rigorous mathematical foundations and a MASc in Biomedical Engineering with production-grade software engineering, shipping widely used Dynamo packages and open-source libraries. He’s known for spotting simple, effective solutions to complex problems and for translating research prototypes into tools used by practitioners. Based in Old Toronto, he blends academic depth with hands-on field and product experience that often reveals elegant shortcuts others overlook.
