Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Djali is a computer graphics engineer with 10 years' experience, a Computer Science with Physics graduate from the University of Cambridge, and currently working freelance after four years at WRLD. He specialises in graphics programming—OpenGL (fixed-function and GLSL), OpenSceneGraph and raytracing—and has led main graphics development for the open-source OpenMW engine while contributing tooling improvements to Mod Organizer 2. Chris combines engine-level backend work (build scripts, MSVC prebuild tweaks, resource/config handling) with shader and rendering systems expertise, making him effective across both tooling and runtime rendering challenges. Based in Wigan, he prefers open-source collaboration (more active on GitLab) and has a track record of modernising legacy code by removing deprecated APIs and simplifying developer workflows. Notably, his contributions make it easier to run compiled binaries directly and streamline resource/config distribution—practical improvements that quietly speed up development and adoption.
