Video Codec Engineer | Graphics & Low-Level Programming Enthusiast
Video codec engineer working on decoder visualization tools and codec analysis software. Previously worked in a computational department building aerodynamic simulation models. In my spare time I build renderers with DirectX, Vulkan, and OpenGL, dig into low-level programming and reverse engineering, and explore AI-assisted development workflows for codec engineering.
Interested in video codecs, graphics programming, or game development? Let's connect.
Professional video codec analysis tool
A comprehensive video quality analyzer for professional codec development. I design and implement visualizations for various decoding stages across multiple codec standards including AV1, HEVC, AVC, and AVS3. The tool helps engineers understand and debug complex compression algorithms through intuitive visual representations of prediction blocks, motion vectors, transform coefficients, and filtering operations.
LLM-powered toolkit for video codec engineers
An LLM-based toolkit designed to assist video codec engineers. Includes a RAG system over codec specs and codebase, an agent-based pipeline for automating repetitive tasks like upstream merges while preserving custom instrumentation, and MCP server integrations for seamless IDE workflows.
GAS-driven shooter with procedural levels
A team project (~1.5 years) where I own the full codebase design. Built on GAS. Nearly all actions are abilities with Gameplay Effects and Tags. Features custom projectile/hit-scan weapon system, procedural level generation, Behaviour Tree AI, wave-based enemy spawner, and a dismemberment system. Enhanced Input for controls, HUD for abilities and health. Full project available upon request.
DCT-based image compression from scratch
A C++17 JPEG-style grayscale image compressor with a custom .ezc binary format. Implements DCT, JPEG luminance quantization (quality 1–100), and multi-threaded encoding via a custom thread pool. Cross-platform CLI with CMake.
Networked music player with terminal UI
Cross-platform C++20 terminal music player with networked jam sessions. Host/guest architecture syncs playback, playlists, and file transfers in real-time over a custom binary protocol. Built with FTXUI, miniaudio, and standalone ASIO.
Custom real-time graphics engine
A from-scratch DirectX 12 renderer with focus on modern rendering techniques and 2D/UI integration. Features include a flexible render graph architecture, PBR materials pipeline, and efficient batched 2D rendering for UI overlays. Built to deeply understand low-level GPU programming and modern graphics API design patterns.
Win32 graphics playground with lighting & model loading
A DirectX 11 renderer with Win32 window management, HLSL shaders with dynamic compilation, Phong/Blinn-Phong/Lambertian lighting, batched draw calls, free-cam with orbit controls, Assimp model loading, and ImGui for runtime tweaking.
Custom rendering engine from scratch
An early rendering engine built to learn core graphics concepts with OpenGL. Covers buffer management (VBO/EBO/VAO), first/third-person camera, shader compilation, texture loading, 3D model transforms, and ImGui overlays. Based on "C++ Game Animation Programming."
Learning Vulkan from the ground up
A hands-on Vulkan project covering the full pipeline: instance/device setup, swap chains, SPIR-V shaders, render passes, command buffers, GPU synchronization with semaphores/fences, vertex/index buffers, descriptor sets, texture sampling with mipmaps, and depth/stencil testing.
