Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefano Lanza is a graphics researcher and developer with over two decades of industry experience and a focused eight-year track record in modern engine and rendering work, now based in Badalona, Spain. He has shipped multi-platform engines and graphics systems for games, simulations and DCC tools—contributing to proprietary OpenGL drivers, real-time photorealistic vehicle rendering, and cross-platform game engines using C++17, bgfx and Emscripten. Stefano blends low-level rendering expertise (aerial scattering, specular antialiasing, volumetrics) with practical engine engineering—memory allocators, tooling and editor work—bringing both R&D rigor and production-readiness. An active contributor to the Spine runtimes, he has optimized 2D skeletal animation pipelines and added platform/compiler support, showing attention to performance and portability. His background in telecommunications and an AI master thesis hint at a strong analytical foundation that complements his graphics systems intuition.
