Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Byko-ianko is a seasoned software engineer with over 15 years of cross-platform C++ development experience and 11 years in professional roles, now working at Mapbox from Helsinki. He has led and shipped navigation and mapping products—most notably MAPS.ME and Shturmann—published to Google Play and the App Store, and contributed extensively to open-source map tooling. His work spans low-level algorithms and data structures (bidirectional A*, contraction hierarchies), compressed road-network storage, and graphics renderers for vector tiles using Vulkan and Metal. Vladimir pairs systems-level C++ expertise with practical mobile and backend skills (Python, Java, JNI, SQL, CMake) across Android, iOS, Linux and embedded platforms. He has repeatedly built navigation subsystems end-to-end—from routing and guidance to TTS and integration tests—and led small engineering teams through complex ports and performance work. An applied mathematician by training, he brings a strong algorithmic mindset to pragmatic product engineering in mapping and routing domains.
