I am highly passionate about computer graphics and driven by a strong background in mathematics to solve rendering and GPU problems. I focus on practical, maintainable solutions that scale to complex scenes.

I implemented a Vulkan renderer written in C++ that includes scene conversion and serialization from GLTF and OBJ, a data-oriented scene graph, tiled deferred shading with compute shaders for thousands of PBR lights, HDR tone mapping, bloom and FXAA, SSAO, tangent-space normal mapping, omnidirectional shadow mapping, indirect rendering and CPU-side frustum culling. I automated framebuffer/render pass generation and pipeline reflection using JSON-driven nodes and the SPIRV-Reflect library to streamline shader pipeline creation.

For gameplay and systems work I built a 2D SDL3 asteroid game featuring a spatial collision grid, a 30-second time-rewind implemented with a ring buffer of changed states, custom memory pool allocators, object pools to avoid dynamic allocation overhead, and a simple finite state machine for AI. These projects emphasize performance, memory determinism, and tooling.

I hold a Bachelor in Pure Mathematics and am pursuing graduate studies; I am seeking opportunities where I can contribute to rendering teams, deepen my Vulkan and GPU optimization skills, and learn from experienced engineers while delivering robust graphics systems.
