Preferred Environment

Git, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Windows 10, Ubuntu, Slack, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Meet

The most amazing...

...thing I've coded is a real-time algorithm for constructive, solid geometry on polygonal meshes, allowing artifact-free cutting of 3D shapes (polytopes).

Work Experience

Android Developer

2017 - 2017
Good Cents Giving (via Toptal)
  • Worked on Good Cents, an Android app.
  • Implemented new functionality while working closely with the back-end developer.
  • Did lots of UI/UX work.
Technologies: Slack, Git, Java, Android

Unity Developer

2016 - 2017
Forelock (via Toptal)
  • Created a first-person-perspective 3D visualization of a horse ride, with several horse skins and environment versions. Implemented smooth reaction to the gyroscope, creating a VR-like experience.
  • Implemented an image-cropping GUI.
  • Worked closely with the artist, discussing 2D and 3D asset requirements.
  • Implemented new functionality for the PHP back-end.
  • Worked on updates and bug fixes. Maintained iOS and Android builds.
Technologies: Git, PHP, C#, Unity

Web Developer

2016 - 2016
The Wardrobe Essentialist (via Toptal)
  • Created a 3D visualization of shirts floating in parameter space (sleeve length, chest size, neck size).
Technologies: JavaScript, OpenGL, WebGL

Android Developer (GifMos app)

2016 - 2016
Moment Studios (via Toptal)
  • Joined the GifMos app team to implement the core of the app with OpenGL.
  • Implemented video capturing and encoding.
  • Implemented a simple editor for compositing overlaid stickers (animated GIFs or text) over previously captured video. Created a GUI for moving/rotating/scaling layers using multi-touch and editing text layers. Implemented several effects for overlaid text. Implemented background on-the-fly encoding of the resulting video, with optional transition effects.
  • Optimized performance and memory usage on older devices.
  • Worked with the rest of the team using Slack and Git-flow.
Technologies: Slack, Git, OpenGL, Java, Android

Software Engineer

2015 - 2016
Imagination Technologies Group PLC
  • Implemented a hardware ray tracing Linux driver for PowerVR GPUs.
  • Implemented an OpenGL ES extension for ray tracing.
  • Implemented an offline AABB geometry hierarchy import (OpenGL ES extension and driver).
  • Debugged hardware with a software simulator.
  • Wrote tools to process memory dumps of 3D hierarchies in hardware format.
Technologies: C++, C, Linux Kernel Programming

Android Software Developer

2015 - 2015

JumpOff

http://jumpoffapp.com/
Horse ride simulation. Took over the project from another developer in an early stage. Created a 3D ride visualization with VR-like features.

GifMos

Implemented the core of the app: video capturing, encoding, and GUI editor for adding overlaid animated stickers.

Jim in Space

Unity game prototype, created from scratch in just two weeks by a developer (me) and an artist.

Skin and Fur Simulation Algorithm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uuR-z4_UKg
A realistic looking skin and fur simulation algorithm, implemented in several mobile apps.

Real-time Ray Tracing of 3D Fractals

http://cv.atablash.pl/mandel.mp4
Real-time 3D fractal ray tracing implemented in CUDA parallel computing.

J-Fizo

A multi-platform (Android & iOS) puzzle game for geeks. The core is written in C++ and OpenGL. The native apps for both platforms are built on top. There's a Facebook integration and leaderboards server written using Django, jQuery, and PostgreSQL.

Constructive Solid Geometry Algorithm

http://cv.atablash.pl/home/cutworld_wire.png
Work in progress since 2013, not released yet. A real-time constructive solid geometry algorithm, allowing to compute polygonal mesh Boolean operations fast and without artifacts.

Dispatch Thread

A basic C++11 handler thread that allows other threads to post function objects with a specified delay and priority. It processes all already overdue functions and those assigned for immediate execution, selecting the one with the highest priority for execution. This implementation relies on ab::FunctionMovable from my library, but it can be replaced with std::function if desired.
