Worked on the mitsuba-renderer/mitsuba3 repository to refine the Metal rendering pipeline by cleaning up the Metal Renderer API and updating the precompiled Metal library. Focused on aligning GPU intersection logic with new world-space handling, the work involved removing the world_space_data attribute from Metal intersection function declarations and ensuring the updated library supported these changes. This approach reduced cross-platform inconsistencies and improved the maintainability of the rendering codebase. Demonstrated expertise in graphics programming, Metal, and ray tracing, while emphasizing API hygiene, shader integration, and binary asset versioning to support future performance optimizations and maintain rigorous change-tracking practices.
June 2026: Metal Renderer API cleanup and precompiled library update in mitsuba-renderer/mitsuba3 to align GPU intersection logic with the new world-space handling. This work removes the world_space_data attribute from Metal intersection function declarations and updates the precompiled Metal library to support updated GPU intersection logic, reducing API fragility and ensuring correct intersection results on Metal backends. Impact: improved correctness, maintainability, and readiness for future performance optimizations across Metal-backed renders. Technologies demonstrated: Metal API hygiene, shader integration, binary asset versioning (precompiled lib), and rigorous change-tracking via commits.
