Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Keron is a seasoned software engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-performance graphics, compatibility layers, and embedded systems, based in Waterloo, Ontario. His work ranges from game AI and dynamic shader generation to low-level optimizations on ultra-low-power processors and real-time Sparse Voxel Octree renderers with dynamic lighting and boolean operations. At Microsoft he helped ship the WinObjC/iOS compatibility layer—implementing GLKit and core graphics fixes in a high-profile open-source project—while earlier roles spanned studio-grade game engines and networking-aware dynamic scripting systems. As an independent developer he continues to maintain and rearchitect complex rendering code and tooling, blending deep systems-level knowledge with pragmatic software design. Collected across industry and indie projects, his background shows a recurring pattern: tackling hard problems at the intersection of graphics, performance, and portability. He combines academic rigor from Waterloo with hands-on craftsmanship that surfaces in both bug fixes and novel rendering features.
