Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDale Eidd is a proprietor and game-focused software engineer based in Greater Melbourne with 11 years of full-stack experience and a background in computing from RMIT. He transitioned from web and tooling work into video game development, applying low-level rendering and shader skills to ocean and underwater systems in Unity. An active open-source contributor, he improved user-facing shell completions for the widely used fish-shell—adding IPv6 and ssh-config hostname parsing—demonstrating attention to UX in developer tools as well as systems-level detail. At Wave Harmonic he’s delivered core ocean rendering features like signed-distance primitives and caustics integration, blending backend logic with graphics programming. Colleagues would describe him as a practical engineer who moves between scripting, shader work, and infrastructure to ship polished interactive systems.
