Mitchell Kanazawa Email & Phone Number

I am a student going in my Senior year studying computer science (focusing in computer graphics and game development). In my studies I have learned: basic computer graphics techniques like texturing, blinn phong shading, and tessellation; advanced rendering techniques like bloom, hdr, ssao, and light propagation volumes; game design principles including story telling, character design, design documentation writing, and playtesting strategies.In the Summer of 2021, I worked at Kinetic Reality as a Unity 3D Developer Intern. There, I helped design a game to showcase their motion capture hardware; refactored old internal testing code from python2 into a python3 library; and optimized a mathematical algorithm in the Java server code base, even writing it natively in C using JNI.Since then, I have worked as a Instructional Student Assistant for both the Introduction to Computer Graphics course and the Programming Languages course. Each has given me the opportunity to work with other students and help them understand concepts that I am passionate about. I now understand how to communicate well with others by relating abstract concepts to concepts they already know or other relevant activities in their lives. Thank you for reading about me! If you would like to contact me, please message me here, or via email at mkanazaw@calpoly.edu.
