Summary
Minjae Lee is a Senior Simulation Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 12 years of experience spanning metaverse, computer graphics, physically-based simulation, vision, and games. Currently at NVIDIA, he builds advanced simulation systems and previously worked on confidential consulting projects there, showcasing deep domain expertise in real-time and research-grade engines. He co-founded Gloovi to tackle creator engagement with interactive mobile video, blending product instincts with low-level systems work. His background includes shipping inverse kinematics, render graphs, networking, and custom allocators at Wombat Studio, plus physical parameter estimation research at Oculus and cloth/rendering systems at eBay. Earlier roles at Microsoft and Apple reflect a foundation in compilers and graphics effects, while a PhD from Stanford and a CS degree from Carnegie Mellon underline his strong research-to-production trajectory. Colleagues would note he pairs academic rigor with hands-on engineering and an unusual knack for turning simulation research into production-ready systems.
