I build rendering systems. My work spans real-time rasterization, GPU-driven pipelines, offline physically-based rendering, and production graphics tooling. I work across Unreal C++, OpenGL, DirectX 12, Vulkan, CUDA, and WebGPU.
Currently finishing my Master's at Penn. Looking for roles at the intersection of graphics research and real-time systems.
Experience
Alibaba GroupJun – Aug 2025
