Hi, I'm Aaron! I'm a senior at the University of Pennsylvania. I will be graduating with a MSE in Computer Graphics and Game Technology and a BSE in Digital Media Design in May 2026. I enjoy graphics programming and creating tools for 3D artists, having been one myself for 9 years.

I'm currently the President of Penn's SIGGRAPH Chapter and in my free time, I perform lion dancing with Penn Lions! I have previously interned at Pixar on their rendering team, where I was working on the texture caching system for RenderMan XPU.

Thanks for checking out my work!
