@husseinshalaby
Graphics programmer building real-time renderers in C++ and Rust, with GPU performance work using CUDA.
What I'm looking for
I built a real-time renderer with physically based rendering, image-based lighting, HDR tone mapping, bloom, and configurable 8× MSAA. I also implemented shadow mapping for directional, point, and spot lights, and integrated model loading and runtime controls.
On my 3D Gaussian Splatting Renderer project, I built a real-time renderer for scenes containing approximately 200,000 splats using Rust, wgpu, and rust-gpu. I also implemented a CUDA Sobel edge detector and used Nsight Compute to investigate why its shared-memory-tiled kernel was slower than the naive kernel.
As a freelance software developer, I reworked active-window detection using native platform event hooks and built a Python command-line tool that generates SolidWorks files through the SolidWorks API. I’ve also contributed to Mesa (zink) and Google Filament, and I’m studying Information Engineering at the University of Padua.
