Top SchoolVan Krynauw is an Unreal Technical Artist with 16 years of experience translating computational graphics research into art-directable VFX tooling and robust pipeline systems. He blends low-level C/C++ and GPU/CUDA expertise with Python-driven frontend and backend tooling, having built Houdini Engine for Unreal features and integrated Bullet physics into Houdini for production destruction workflows. Comfortable across Linux, OpenGL/GLSL, VEX and shader work, he has led R&D and pipeline efforts at studios and founded a software studio focused on FX technology. Based in Windhoek, Namibia, he pairs an honours in Computer Science (cum laude) with a practical track record of shipping studio-grade systems that bridge research, simulation performance and artist-friendly workflows.
