Minecraft with real-time RTX path tracing and GPU-acclerated terrain generation. Made together with two teammates using C++, CUDA, OptiX, and DirectX. Includes various biomes, infinite procedurally generated terrain, diffuse and specular shading, and a day/night cycle.
A path tracer written in C++ and CUDA, complete with features like specular reflection and refraction, depth of field, BVH construction and traversal, and denoising using Intel Open Image Denoise. Models in the render came from Sketchfab; attribution is given on the project page.
Procedurally generated crystals made in Houdini, rendered using Redshift. Changing the seed value of a generator creates an entirely new crystal without any extra user input.
A genetic algorithm written in Java to play the original Super Mario Bros, based on MarI/O by SethBling and the NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) method. Plays the game and learns from its mistakes to progress farther each time.

I'm a Real-Time Rendering Engineer at NVIDIA. My passion for computer graphics drives me to combine my strong coding background with my interest in creative technology. I've honed my technical skills through an MSE in Computer Graphics and Game Technology at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as personal projects. Additionally, I enjoy expressing my artistic side through wildlife photography and 3D renders.
