Headshot of my beautiful face

I am excited about rendering techniques, and my passion is in how we can utilise the GPU to create better and more realistic visuals. Coming to game programming from a Computer Science perspective, I have a strong mathematical background, and taking theoretical concepts and implementing them in new ways to enhance the player's experience.
