Summary
👤
SeniorPablo Zurita is a Principal Rendering Engineer with 11 years of focused experience delivering high-fidelity real-time graphics for AAA games and visualization tools, now leading rendering efforts at 2K Sports Lab from Vancouver. He has driven lighting, shading and image-quality innovations at EA’s Frostbite team—shipping strand hair rendering on FIFA 21 and implementing advanced models like dual-lobe specular, anisotropic shading, specular occlusion and microshadowing across multiple franchises. Pablo’s background spans engine-level performance and tooling work—from CPU/GPU optimizations in Unity and Unreal integrations to architecting Autodesk’s One Graphics System and contributing R&D that was part of a Scientific and Technical Oscar-winning toolset. Comfortable leading small specialist teams or acting as the go-to SME, he blends low-level C++ engine work with practical production problem solving for consoles, PC and VR. Less obvious: he pairs deep rendering expertise with hands-on systems and memory optimizations, having repeatedly rescued projects by squeezing performance and shipping features within tight platform budgets.
