My main focus is custom graphics engines for software that needs the extra push to become more polished, responsive and performant. I strive to tailor each solution to the product needs.

Some projects I've enjoyed working on:

- Audio visualizer avatar for an AI assistant app, with physical camera movement, photorealistic shading, and morphing animations. Built in Metal
- Cross-platform Planetarium renderer for a night sky observation app. Data-driven and built to handle thousands of objects displayed, fully interactive. Built on BGFX targeting Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL ES.

I profiled EDR (Apple's HDR display tech) capabilities on Apple Display Hardware for games, identified performance bottlenecks and led a initiative to bring automatic EDR on existing games that have no support for it.

I became the sole maintainer of the SpriteKit framework.

Within my team, I conducted prototyping for future Metal API features: mesh shaders, prototyping running DirectX Raytracing shaders on Metal, investigated a build process for running Windows Steam on Mac, for what would later become the Game Porting Toolkit.

I also participated in conducting interviews for potential candidates.

Designed and implemented graphics features: hair rendering, lighting system, unified material system etc. Shipped 2 titles on multiple platforms.

Interviewed candidates for engineering roles, focused on graphics.
