I'm Alex, currently the Lead Graphics Programmer at ZeniMax Online Studios. I am working on our new renderer for our next big project, and leading graphics efforts on the ESO team. I am incredibly proud of the graphics team here, they are uniquely talented and kind engineers.

Fundamental to my personality is a deep love of games. Games were the escape that saved me from drowning in difficult circumstances growing up, and it has since been my life's passion to pay that forward to players today as a game developer. I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life than trying to bring comfort to other people through games.

I work as a graphics programmer because it allows me to contribute to visuals both directly, and indirectly by enabling artists and more artistically-inclined graphics programmers. Nowadays most of my knowledge and experience is in working with graphics APIs and renderer architecture, but I am comfortable working in other sub-specializations and enjoy learning new areas and tools.

Although mostly coincidental, I am also particularly specialized in working on MMOs and understand the unique challenges brought on by online games that last for many years.
