List of games and simulators I worked on

• Rendering for a Machine Learning project
• Local Shopping
• 20% VR project in Daydream: social VR with realistic character reconstruction using low bandwidth; conformal foveated rendering.
• GeoPix - handling images in Maps

• Dragon Age III - Inquisition
• Mass Effect Andromeda
• Frostbite 3 improvements

• Main project is a laparoscopic appendectomy simulator - LapVR Appendectomy.
• Architecture of the new engine
• Implemented 3D Virtual Texture to stream CT scans of a body to video memory depending on the probe movements.
• Improved rendering quality of the simulator, with better lighting, faked subsurface scatering, gpu metaball fluids, highly tessellated rendering model following the physic model and its alteration.
• Improved performances and loading times.
• Fixed several multithreading issues, reduced use of locks between threads, improved parallelization.
• Created a CPU profiler to see visually tasks on threads along several frames, with minimal code and performance impact.
• Created a memory logger to see which parts of the code allocate and fragment memory and which threads allocates the most each frame.
• Metaballs for blood and water
• High res visual mesh following physic simulation's low res model and replicating damages
• Damage effects
• Depth of field
• Camera effects

• Optimizations of the particle engine and of the fluid physique engine, using meta-programming, batching, VMX128 SIMD programming, moving parts of the particle update to the GPU.
• Added batching to the 3D renderer.
• Optimized the renderer.
• Replaced env-mapped mirrors with real reflecting mirrors.

• Was the engineer with the most comprehensive view of the 3d and game engine architecture.
• Lots of heavy debugging on PS3 and Xbox 360.
• Changed multithreaded tasks scheduling order to improve performances
• Faster start time by loading asynchronously shader databases
• Fast real-time Metaballs implemented on GPU with several layers of depth
• Responsible for the shaders use logging/generation on all platforms.
• Lots of profiling to tell colleagues what to optimize.
• Mixed forward and deferred rendering techniques to improve framerate while reduce number of shaders, and to prevent creation of unpredicted lighting condition when the player uses game spells.
• Tries to communicate a lot with colleagues about state of the art technologies and habits.

• Quickly learned how the Anvil/Scimitar engine works.
• Debugged and optimized the rendering.
• Fixed the multithreaded loading of graphic resources.
• Defined and implemented the low, medium and high quality settings.

• first realtime shadows of characters on every environment ever on DS
• camera systems
• collisions and basic movements
• artists' and designers' pipeline tools
• gameplay features implementation and game script debugging
