HI, I AM SHUBHAM SHARMA.

I am a Graphics Software Engineer at Intel, where I focus on optimizing and functionally enhancing the OpenGL driver for the latest GPU architectures, including Alchemist and Battlemage. Previously, I had the privilege of interning at Pixar Animation Studios as a Software Engineer Intern on the RenderMan team, contributing to one of the most renowned rendering engines in the industry.
I earned my Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Graphics and Game Technology from the University of Pennsylvania. My expertise spans rendering engine and pipeline development, GPU computing, and immersive technologies like virtual and augmented reality. Throughout my career,
I have gained significant experience in:

Physically Based Rendering
Advanced Rendering Pipelines and Graphics Drivers
GPU Architecture and Programming
Game Development and Animation Systems

When I’m not optimizing graphics systems, I find joy in playing the guitar, where I balance technical precision with creative expression.
