Worked as a Graphics programmer on Atlas Fallen using Fledge, our own in-house Game Engine.Here's some of the things I worked on: * Complete rewrite of the Physics System using the PhysX library. * Complete rewrite of the Cloth Simulation system using the NvCloth library. * Auto Exposure (Eye Adaptation) using a Luminance Histogram. * Improving our Temporal Anti-Aliasing solution. * Extension and maintenance of the Renderer backends (Vulkan, DX12, Xbox and PS5), with a higher focus on the Vulkan backend. * Extension and maintenance of the Shader Node Graph, our visual scripting tool that allows artists to create materials and shaders. * Implemented GPU-driven rendering and rewrote the GPU culling pass to handle a massive amount of meshes in an open-world game, with automatic LOD selection. * CPU and GPU optimization to make sure the game reaches the performance targets at all times (60 fps performance mode/30 fps quality mode on Xbox and PS5)

Worked as a Graphics Programmer.During this time, worked on two released games using Fledge, our own in-house Game Engine: * The Surge. * The Surge 2.Some more details on the things I worked on: * Worked on Shadow Maps and the GPU Particle System using the DX11 API. * Complete rewrite of the GPU Particle System, to make proper use of the new low-level graphics APIs (Vulkan, DX12, and PS4). * Extension and maintenance of the Vulkan backend. * Researched alternatives to the Cloth Simulation and Destruction System used in our in-house engine, since the library used at the time became deprecated (NVIDIA APEX).

Gave practical lessons in Computer Graphics to undergraduate students from the Informatics Engineering and Computer Science classes.

Worked on the implementation of the stochastic progressive photon mapping algorithm, using the GAMA framework for heterogeneous platforms.
