Summary
Kris Szabo is a senior GPU architect and software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing low-level graphics systems and performance-critical C++/C code. Currently a Senior Member of Technical Staff at AMD in London, he has driven R&D across graphics, ML and driver/hardware integration after roles at Samsung Research and Arm. His expertise spans Vulkan/DirectX pipelines, shader languages (SPIR-V/HLSL/GLSL), GPU measurement/debug tooling, and cross-architecture optimisations for heterogeneous CPU/GPU platforms. Kris combines practical implementation of novel algorithms in drivers and hardware with research into advanced graphics techniques and ML-infused rendering, reflecting a rare blend of systems-level depth and graphics research curiosity. He also brings broader scripting and tooling experience (Python, C#) and international exposure from a China summer school program, which supports his collaborative work across multi-vendor teams.
