Very excited to share that I joined Microsoft today as a Partner Architect in Mixed Reality (HoloLens, VR, etc.)! Been looking forward to this for a while! More details later.

My career started in 1997. I remember when we started putting heat sinks on GPUs before anyone called them GPUs. And let’s not forget about the QA guy who ran out of thermal paste and used a half-chewed Tootsie Roll instead. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. Good times at ATI!

Here is a short write-up of some visual quality improvements I’ve been working on the last few months at Microsoft for the HP Reverb G2

A new software update will increase the visual fidelity on the Reverb G2 and other WMR headsets, by improving corrections made for chromatic aberration and more. uploadvr.com/reverb-g2-visu…

This is a quarantine gift from the gods! Can’t wait to make my way through all of the developer commentary in Half-Life: Alyx! Jason hired me at ATI 22 years ago and then recruited me to Valve 8 years later. Technical writing is his superpower. This is going to be amazing.

Valve artist rich_lord gave a great talk at SIGGRAPH HIVE 2023 that every rendering dev should watch. Tons of inspirational moments for shader development. The fractal sequence starting 29 minutes in is impressive. youtu.be/R-S9d-qFRHM?si…

I joined Meta's AR/VR team yesterday. Can’t wait to get my hands on some new prototypes! Super excited about our product roadmap!
