Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDov Grobgeld is an algorithms team leader with nearly two decades of experience designing calibration algorithms, simulation engines, and visualization tools for complex imaging and printer systems. Trained in physics (M.Sc., Weizmann Institute), he drove cross-platform C++ calibration frameworks and physical simulators at Orbotech that are still deployed across hundreds of customer sites and later architected high-performance RIP engines, slicers and geometric simulators at XJet. He combines hands-on coding, algorithm research and practical tooling—creating interactive Qt/Gtk visualizers, Python bindings for image libraries, and a web front end for desktop apps—to shrink development cycles and machine time. A longtime open-source contributor (notably releasing fribidi implementing the Unicode bidi algorithm) and Emacs/org-mode enthusiast, he bridges academic rigor with production-grade engineering.
