• I worked as a programmer for NFB to create real-time solutions enabling artists to create immersive shortfilm in a very precise design and style.
• Implemented custom Shader tools and pipeline in Blender.
• Implemented C++ ray-marching and SDF libs for none-vertex based geometric computation.
• Working hands to hands with 3D artists to deliver production ready plugins for them to play, create, and implement new ideas.

• Pipeline Asset Optimizations
• I was responsible for creating an in-house tool to optimize 3D assets in our import pipeline. The primary challenge was handling assets originating from multiple sources, standards, and formats. By the end of the optimization process, asset imports were approximately 20 times faster than the traditional approach.
• Real-Time GPU and CPU Profiler
• I developed a low-level profiling tool to intercept calls to hardware and CPU instructions. The final result was a C-like API that could be integrated into any project to diagnose and measure performance on both the CPU and GPU sides.
• GPU Instancer (Compute Shader Optimization and Rendering)
• I created a GPU instancer to optimize the rendering of multiple objects by leveraging GPU instancing. This feature included using compute shaders to handle physics and animations of the instances. Additionally, I implemented procedural algorithms with compute shaders to generate various scene compositions.
• DALL·E Integration
• I implemented a middleware between our core engine and the DALL·E API to integrate generative AI models, enabling real-time texture generation for objects.
• CubeMap GPU Generation Optimization
• I designed a pipeline to generate CubeMaps on the fly using the GPU. This feature significantly improved performance, achieving a 14x increase in processing speed and reducing the number of instructions required.
• WebGPU and Rendering Viewer in the Browser
• I delivered a 3D graphics viewer for browsers, utilizing Three.js and Babylon.js to manipulate and render assets. As part of this project, I also integrated third-party APIs to optimize assets by reducing vertex counts and compressing textures.
• Uber Shader
• I developed an Uber Shader and an accompanying import pipeline to merge multiple assets from different sources into a unified format compatible with our in-house Uber Shader. This involved close collaboration with both the technical and artistic teams to ensure the tool met their needs.

• As a freelancer for CBC-Radio Canada, I worked on creating the simulations of water, boat and was responsible to deliver the whole plates for features for the compositor to handle it in the real-time video editing.
• Python scripting in Blender to handle custom mesh optimizations and proceduralism physical water movement.
• Working hand to hand with the director of the program to make sure every pieces of datas and rendered would fit perfectly in the whole production pipeline.
