Hey there!!

Vivek here - a Software Developer working in VFX technology. I spend my time building tools, pipelines and systems to make the creative workflows faster (performance-enthusiastic).

I Geek out on...

• Managing memory efficiently
• SIMD (speeeeeeed matters over everything!!)
• Game Engines (especially their architectures and the performance they squeeze out)
• Prince of Persia which was written entirely in assembly.

Nightmares for me?

• My program running slower
• My least favourite is the Memory leaks (the silent types)

What I'm playing with right now?

• Writing an actual "Player", a high performance media player and a growing review system.
• Learning to encode-decode the audio and video streams for fast and efficient playback.

Tech I work with

• VFX tools and pipelines, including Nuke and Maya as the digital content creators.
• Exploring Unreal Engine too.
• Frameworks: Qt, OpenGL, OpenImageIO
• Tools: Docker

On the Programming side

• Decent with: C++, Python
• Familiar with: QML, Javascript

Next up on My List...

• Vulkan swapchains
• Exploring Assembly language
