What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and creativity, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my technical skills.

I'm an experienced software engineer with over a decade of expertise in backend systems, fullstack applications, and 3D graphics technology. My journey has led me to create adorn, a professional-grade jewelry CAD application that features real-time PBR rendering, image-based lighting, and GPU-accelerated ray tracing using Rust and WebGPU. I am passionate about building performant, intuitive tools that bridge technology and creativity.

In my most recent role as a Senior Backend Engineer at Las Vegas Sands, I developed real-time game visualizations and designed game logic for live casino games, enhancing player engagement. My previous experiences at Bestow and Eagleview allowed me to innovate in financial reporting and CAD applications, respectively, where I significantly improved development times and accuracy. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my skills to create impactful solutions.
