  • Some experience in shader development, performance optimisation, and multi‑threaded graphics programming
  • Understanding of memory management, real‑time rendering, and rendering pipeline architecture
  • Experience with video processing, encoding / decoding, and multimedia frameworks
  • Solid programming skills using system languages (C++, Rust)
