Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Poulet is a Senior Graphics Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in real-time rendering and the hardware that powers it, currently crafting high-fidelity visuals at Something Mighty and freelancing on cutting-edge projects. He has led teams at Huawei Research and Ubisoft Berlin to advance digital human rendering—implementing eyes, strand hair, skin and fabric solutions—and acted as an official reviewer and contributor to the open-source Open 3D Engine (O3DE). Comfortable across engine internals, shader programming, tooling and low-level optimization, he bridges research and production to deliver invisible technologies that simplify art pipelines. A practiced public speaker and mentor, he pairs academic grounding in computer graphics with hands-on experience shipping AAA features and porting engines to constrained platforms like Nintendo Switch. Less obvious: he blends robotics and web startup experience, giving him a practical systems perspective when designing robust, deployable graphics systems.
