Senior🎓
Top SchoolDennis Sandler is a Staff Developer Technology Engineer at NVIDIA with 11 years of experience building high-performance visual computing and media systems that span heterogeneous hardware and host boundaries. He specializes in C/C++ systems, GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL), modern graphics APIs (OpenGL, Vulkan), video codecs and streaming protocols, and low-level performance tuning—often turning research prototypes into production-grade solutions for ProAV and broadcast workflows. Known for deep, interdisciplinary problem solving, he has shipped components touching RDMA, NVENC/NVDEC, RTP/SRT/RTSP ecosystems and contributed optimizations to NVIDIA’s nvpro_samples core utilities. He blends developer relations and product-focused engineering to make complex subsystems easy to use, and brings a physics/math background that helps him sleuth through uncertainly tractable problems.
