Panos Charitos is a manager with 16 years of professional experience based in Greece who blends leadership in business operations with hands-on graphics and engine development. While managing teams at Rain International since 2015, he also contributes as a backend developer to the AnKi 3D engine—working on Vulkan/D3D12 rendering, shaders, clustered shading, and texture/asset systems. His background in biomedical engineering gives him a systems-oriented approach to problem solving and attention to detail across both technical and managerial domains. Panos demonstrates uncommon cross-discipline fluency: guiding people and processes by day, and improving low-level graphics code and modern renderer pipelines in open source by night. This mix of commercial management experience and active contributions to a nontrivial graphics engine indicates strong architectural instincts and a pragmatic engineering mindset.
