Kurt Kühnert

I write geospatial software in Rust, mostly terrain rendering and the GPU code underneath it.

Right now I'm co-founder and CTO of NoLag Software, where we build a geospatial SDK in Rust, with everything from coordinate transformations and raster processing to 3D terrain and point clouds.
