I'm a programmer in the game industry. I blog primarily about tools and rendering but my posts can run the gamut of my experience so they can be very diverse and awesome. I was a tools programmer for Gamebryo in the past, currently doing interesting animation and machine learning work at Activate3D for the Kinect. I'd like to think of myself as a tools programmer but I wear all kinds of hats. I'm talking beanies, Kangols, fedoras... Scarves, babushkas... Baseball caps, beanies. Yarmulkes.
