Bio
LinkedIn User
We met with Gray online in a graphics-related programming community where she is actively participating and helping other people with math and programming. She had great success and showed a lot of passion for both low-level rendering and art, which is a very rare combination of skills. This allows her to see problems and think about possible solutions from both engineering and artistic perspective. On top of that Gray is the author and maintainer of several popular open-source projects (I use one of her libraries in my personal pet project), which clearly demonstrates her ability to produce and maintain high-quality, reusable software. This also shows that she's a very creative and self-driven person. I can easily recommend Gray for an engineering or a technical art position.
