For the past 3 years I worked at an American startup where we developed a high-performance 3D game engine and editor in Rust. Deploying to WebAssembly and WebGL2 for an online web-based game platform, delivering console-quality visuals and near-native performance.

I also have professional experience on the TV Broadcasting industry, having worked at two of the largest software providers in terms of graphics rendering.

I love working and have professional experience with anything that is visual and interactive: games programming, rendering engines, computer vision.
