Senior 3D Graphics Software Engineer
Responsible for providing real-time synthetic image generator for internal use. Development of multiplayer visual simulators and trainers using VR-Forces, Vega Prime, VBS, Terra Vista, Creator, DI-Guy. Research, development, integration and validation of environmental and physical effects: time of day, shadow, volumetric clouds, ocean, fog, rain, snow, trees, grass, rocks, smoke, fire, dust, trail, explosion, etc. Synthesis of real-time 3D sound. Development of Physically Based Rendering. Development of Depth of Field effect. Integration of 3rd party libraries like SilverLining Sky Clouds Weather SDK and Triton Ocean SDK. Over time I was promoted to the role of computer graphics expert and point of contact in the company. I initiated and developed a new real-time 3D computer graphics engine, which allows the building of 3D simulations quickly, easily, and without the need for a thorough knowledge of computer graphics. Currently this engine is integrated in most Rafael’s simulations around the globe.

Junior 3D Graphics Software Engineer
Research, visualization and integration of physically based natural phenomena effects. I got the opportunity to use my first graphics engine - OpenSceneGraph OpenSceneGraph. Being a Technion student at both Computer Science and Biology faculties, I got this fulltime position, following the successful development of the ‘Stone Synthesis’ Technion- Rafael joint project.
Education

2000 - 2008
B.Sc Computer Science
* General Specialization – GPA 83.7
My first year I studied at the Faculty of Mathematics. After which I transferred to the Faculty of Computer Science. I was very attracted to biology and medicine, so I soon took the Bioinformatics Track. This was not enough for me, so I additionally began studying at the Faculty of Biology, returning to the general track at the Faculty of Computer Science.
