Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSanaz Golbabaei is a Senior Graphics Software Engineer in San Francisco with six years of professional experience building high-performance 3D, visualization, and mapping systems. Currently working on Adobe Substance 3D Viewer, she brings deep expertise in C/C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, OpenGL/WebGL and geometry processing to craft immersive graphics and scientific visualization features. Her background spans product teams at Adobe, Mapbox and Tableau where she improved map rendering performance, handled shader compilation optimizations, and enabled linear spatial data support for analysis workflows. Academically trained in computer graphics (MS, Oregon State), she has a track record of implementing GLSL-driven visualization tools and interactive geometry applications. An active contributor to mapbox-gl-js, she combines low-level performance tuning with front-end UX fixes—bridging the gap between shader-heavy rendering and usable mapping products. Colleagues rely on her for solving tricky geometry edge cases and shipping performant, user-facing graphics systems.
