Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Pajor is a software engineer and algorithm specialist with a decade of experience designing and implementing graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization methods for large-scale, real-world data. Based in Sunnyvale, he leads the transit routing engine at Apple Maps, applying the algorithm engineering paradigm to produce practical systems with provable guarantees. His background includes two postdoctoral stints at Microsoft Research and a PhD from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where he honed both theoretical depth and experimental rigor. He has experience delivering production routing solutions—from a TfL proof-of-concept at Microsoft to global transit services at Apple—bridging research prototypes and robust engineering. Known for shipping high-performance implementations and empirical evaluations on massive datasets, he combines research publications with hands-on system-building to tackle complex transportation and graph problems.
