Daniel leads a organization focused on developing tools to assist 3rd parties in improving application performance and utilization of every component on a single system or across a multi-node servers: GPUs, CPUs, SOCs, DPUs, NICs, & switches. A wide range of industries are supported, including: HPC compute, deep learning, machine learning, data sciences, graphics, gaming and cover APIs such as CUDA, Vulkan, OpenGL, and Direct3D.

Daniel manages teams in NVIDIA's Developer Tools organization. His teams focus on platform tools for hardware of all shapes and sizes; regardless of whether it sits on your desk, lives in a server room, or drives itself through town. Our current focus is on helping companies optimize their application's performance through system-wide analysis across the CPU and GPU. His teams tools have been critical to a wide range of projects such as optimizing GPU accelerated deep learning, inference, mlperf, CUDA based simulations, autonomous vehicle stack, and AAA interactive multimedia applications from DCC to video games.Check out how Nsight Systems can help you optimize your LInux and Windows applications to better utilize GPUs. https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-systems

Engineering, program, and product management for Tegra CPU tools: Tegra System Profiler and Nsight Tegra Visual Studio Edition. Nsight Tegra is now an extremely popular Android development and debugging environments among PC & console game developers moving to Android. It has a seamless debugging experience and even Incredibuild support, providing the highest performance build solution. We have integrated it with Epic's Unreal Engine 4 project files and it is their recommended code authoring environment. It has also been recommended by Google staffers as the best solution for Visual Studios integration. Tegra System Profiler is a CPU sampling profiler that has evolved to be far faster and more reliable at collecting a complete call stack backtrace than its competitors on Android. If you're looking for great Android tools, message me and I'll tell you more about what NVIDIA has to offer on both CPU and GPU debugging and profiling.

Manage an international team with members from US, UK, Japan, Singapore, and China to develop PhysX plugins for Autodesk 3dsMax and Maya. These plugins enable game physics to be authored within the DCC tool and allow simulation to be previewed. The primary concentration were APEX features: Destruction, Clothing, and automatic character rigid body rigging. The 3dsMax plugins were adopted by Autodesk and rebranded MassFX. The tools were used in such game titles as Portal 2, Mafia 2, Bioshock Infinite, Batman Arkham City, Eve Online, Epic Samaritan Demo. I was also the primary engineer and later architect on the Maya plugin, as well as architect of the object synchronization and simulation system bridge shared between both plugins.

Two internships that extended into additonal contract employment.6 months in the Intel Server Labs working on remote management software.3 months in the Intel Architecture Labs working on 3D software algorithms for games. Extended by ~6 months of contract work.2 patent applications for real time "squash and stretch" simulation to extend their non-photorealistic rendering techniques with animation behavior typically seen in classical cell shaded cartoons.
