I am a software engineer at Magic Leap where I work on creative content and collaborate with first and third-party developers to build experiences for our platform. My primary interests are 3D graphics and performance optimization.
In my spare time I enjoy experimenting with cutting edge rendering techniques and learning mathematics related to computer graphics and physics.
