My main focus is real-time rendering with a passion for ray/path tracing. I've built path tracers on the CPU and in DX12, worked on PS5 rendering, and I write about what I learn on my blog.

Next to the technical work, I've found that I enjoy technical leadership. Being tech lead on Catch My Drift taught me to plan work for a team, review code, and keep programming in line with design and art. I want to keep growing in both, toward a lead programmer role.
