Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Chow is a Senior Java Developer with nine years of professional experience building high-availability, low-latency banking and streaming systems across cloud and on-prem environments. He has led core banking platform design and support, implemented compliance and reporting solutions at major banks, and recently delivered Kafka-based streaming and GKE infrastructure as code using Terraform. Comfortable across the full stack of enterprise Java, middleware and DevOps pipelines, he pairs hands-on optimisation (DB tuning, JVM/AIX/WAS environments) with platform-level automation and CI/CD. An active contributor to Unity's popular PostProcessing repository, he has applied graphics and XR rendering expertise—optimising shaders and stereo rendering pipelines—which reveals a rarer blend of systems and graphics experience for a backend-focused engineer. Based in High Wycombe, he brings a pragmatic, operational mindset to reliability and performance challenges in financial and cloud-native systems.

Contributions summary:Mike primarily focused on enhancing the XR interface within the post-processing stack for Unity. Their work involved modifying core rendering layers and shaders to support single-pass instancing and double-wide rendering modes for VR applications. They implemented changes to handle stereo rendering, including modifications to command buffers and temporary render targets, with the goal of optimizing the visual effects pipeline for XR platforms. The contributions also included adapting the code to handle different rendering modes and address potential issues related to temporal anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion in VR environments.
