About Me
I tinker with real-time graphics, neural networks, and embedded AI — exploring how far hardware and software can be pushed. My work spans neural rendering, high-speed video pipelines, embedded sensors, and other experiments that are as much about learning as they are about results.
I primarily work in C++, CUDA, and GPU-heavy environments, experimenting with Vulkan, OpenGL, PyTorch, and Unreal Engine. I enjoy turning ideas into interactive experiments you can see, play with, or learn from — whether it's a neural rendering prototype or a tiny embedded sensor system.
Outside of projects, I love reading, learning new things, and geeking out over experiments. If you want to try something, swap ideas, or just chat about graphics, AI, or embedded tinkering, feel free to reach out!
Selected Experiments & Projects
-
Inference Optimisation at Wayve
Built custom kernels and deployment pipelines to make autonomous driving models run as fast as possible, squeezing every millisecond out of GPUs and NPUs. Seeing complex models actually fly in real time was addictive.
-
Neural Rendering at Huawei
Experimented with neural networks that capture realistic lighting in 3D games for mobile and desktop. Played with Vulkan, HiAI, PyTorch, and Unreal Engine to see what's possible in real time, creating interactive experiments that feel almost magical.
-
CUDA Video Processing at Crystal Vision
Developed a new product line to process raw SDI video streams in real time using CUDA. Pushed GPU pipelines to their limits while syncing video streams with nanosecond precision — fun challenges for any tinkerer.
-
Embedded Sensors & Prototypes at Speedy Quarks
Built embedded sensor prototypes with BLE, microcontrollers, and mobile apps to visualize data live. Exploring sensors and small hardware experiments was a playground for creative tinkering.
-
Maker Experiments & Internships
From NFC wireless power experiments to Android breath-monitoring apps and small robotics competitions, I've always enjoyed building hands-on prototypes and pushing ideas to life.
