My name is Daniel Vondrak, I am an experience C/C++ engineer with a prioritization on low-level no-nonsense code. I have a fascination for the marriage of mathematics and computer science which has brought me to graphics programming. I have experience in physical simulations such as nuclear fallout as well as game development with my own homebrew engine that uses no other libraries outside of the WinAPI and c standard libraries. This engine includes low-latency audio, multiple input schemes, full game state playback, math libraries, and profiling tools.…My name is Daniel Vondrak, I am an experience C/C++ engineer with a prioritization on low-level no-nonsense code.
