Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRadu Danciu is a Staff Software Engineer and tech lead based in Munich with 15+ years of experience building game and XR systems that blend real-time animation, tooling and machine learning. At Meta he leads teams adding full-body locomotion and LLM-driven embodiment to avatars, and previously delivered production tooling and procedural pipelines for AAA titles at Ubisoft and studio tooling through his own company. He pairs low-level C/C++ systems work—evidenced by Linux-focused contributions to Google's Orbit profiler—with high-level research into mesh deformation, skeletal animation and virtual-sensor-driven planners for mixed reality. A pragmatic leader and mentor, he focuses on shipping polished products that match a clear vision while enabling others to excel. His background spans gameplay, engine and pipeline engineering to ML-enabled animation, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on bringing believable characters to life.
