About Me
- I started Cesium, an awesome open-source WebGL globe and map engine, with some other great people at Analytical Graphics, Inc. I focus on building the project's community; developing the open-source business model, leading the graphics development, and mentoring new developers.
- I work with Khronos on open-standards, in particular, I am the co-creator of glTF, the runtime asset format for WebGL, OpenGL ES, and OpenGL.
- I help cultivate our next generation graphics practitioners and researchers by teaching graphics and C++ courses at the University of Pennsylvania. I bring industry experience into the classroom, and help get students killer jobs. I use unconventional teaching methods, including open-source projects and hackathons.
- I share knowledge and help move the computer graphics field forward by writing and editing books, book chapters, other publications, and blogs; giving talks; and reviewing publications for conferences, journals, and publishers.
Interests
- Computer graphics - WebGL, OpenGL, virtual globes, real-time rendering, GPU architecture, and 3D engine design.
- Software development - framework design, unit testing, parallelism, HTML5, JavaScript, C++, C#, recruitment, and technical interviews.
- Open source software - development practices, building community, culture, and business models.
- Moving our field forward - teaching computer science, giving talks, writing, editing, and mentoring.
