Short CV (05/2011)

Interests

My interests include computer graphics and software engineering. In graphics, I am particularly interested in virtual globes, GPU architecture, OpenGL, WebGL, 3D engine design, and real-time rendering. In software engineering, I am interested in building great teams, software architecture, framework design, and unit testing (seriously). I also like recruitment and technical interviews.

I've done significant development on three 3D engines:

Insight3D
Insight3D: A 3D visualization component for aerospace and GIS applications. Written in C++, C#, OpenGL, and GLSL.

OpenGlobe: A 3D engine for virtual globes designed to illustrate engine design and rendering techniques described in our book. Written in C#, OpenGL 3.3 core profile, and GLSL.

Insight3D
A web-based 3D engine currently in development. Written in JavaScript and WebGL.

In addition to engine development, I also work on a desktop application:

STK: A modeling and analysis application for space, defense, and intelligence systems. Written in C, C++, OpenGL, and GLSL.
