NVIDIA is the world leader in visual computing. Beginning as a standard PC graphics chip company, NVIDIA has transformed into a specialized platform company that targets four very large markets — Gaming, Professional Visualization, Datacenter and Auto — where visual computing is essential and deeply valued.

Coding done in C/C++, MFC, XML, Perl. Accomplishments include:

• Designed and implemented an object-oriented test environment used for verification of the display engine. This environment facilitated the creation of randomized tests yielding greater test coverage.
• Designed and implemented a GUI interface and communication layer for a DX8 DDI/DP2 tracing utility using MFC and DCOM, allowing remote configuration and control of the tracing utility while running full-screen 3D applications.
• Instrumented the DX8 reference rasterizer to capture the primitive graphics data of applications and benchmarks for replay against hardware simulators for functionality and performance testing.
• Created object-oriented XML parser for data sets which were too large to fit in memory all at once.
• Wrote and modified Perl scripts to run automated tests and create reports.

3Dfx Interactive

3dfx Interactive was a company headquartered in San Jose, California, founded in 1994, that specialized in the manufacturing of 3D graphics processing units, and later, graphics cards. It was a pioneer in the field from the late 1990s until 2000.

The company's flagship product was the Voodoo Graphics, an add-in card that accelerated 3D graphics. The hardware accelerated only 3D rendering, relying on the PC's current video card for 2D support. Despite this limitation, the Voodoo Graphics and its follow-up Voodoo2 were popular, and it became standard for 3D games to offer support for the company's Glide API.

3dfx’s assets were acquired by nVIDIA (mostly for intellectual property rights) in December 2000.

Coding done in C/C++. Accomplishments include:

• Designed and implemented routines for a DX8 graphics driver to translated pixel shader byte code into the hardware register writes required to setup the hardware’s texture pipeline stages.
• Implemented several performance enhancements to the scan conversion section of the C-model simulation of new 3D graphics hardware, increasing the efficiency of the graphics pipeline.
• Designed and implemented a data flow analysis class library which was used to create performance simulations and data analysis tools.
• Implemented several diagnostic and benchmark programs.
• Ran performance tests and analyzed and presented results.
