@alangutierrez
C++ software developer specializing in real-time graphics, physics simulation, and engine architecture.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I am a performance-driven software developer focused on C++, computer graphics, and real-time simulation, with hands-on experience building custom 3D engines and physics-based platforms.
At LSYM I engineered C++ tools for heavy machinery training, optimized core engine mechanics and physics models, and designed a scalable SQL database for simulation data management.
As the developer of the JAM Engine I built engine architecture using C++ and OpenGL, implemented advanced rendering features, and documented the codebase and APIs to support integration and reuse.
I collaborate effectively across disciplines, ship production-ready projects (including a student game released on Steam), and bring strong fundamentals in linear algebra, multithreading, memory management, and debugging to deliver high-fidelity, real-time systems.
