Connor Fitzgerald

cwfitzgerald
New York, NY

I am a graphics programmer from New York City who loves games, graphics, and rust. I enjoy contributing and maintaining open source projects in my free time.

Notable open source projects I work on:

  • I comaintain wgpu, the ecosystem standard portable graphics abstraction. I have:
    • Added many native features which help wgpu get feature parody with other graphics apis.
    • Championed the D3D11 backend.
    • Optimized both cpu and gpu side performance.
    • Maintained the library through bugfixes and routine work.
    • Improved error messages and the developer experience.
  • I am the BDFL of rend3, a wgpu-based 3D graphics library making complex 3D graphics easy to use without needing to use an off-the-shelf game engine.
  • I have contributed to the naga project improving support for various features.
  • I maintain a variety of smaller projects imgui-wgpu-rs, switchyard and make incidental contributions to the ecosystem as needed.

I also pride myself on being very active in the community, both in the projects' communities, and in the rust communities as a whole. I answer questions, give help, and generally try to be a positive and helpful presence.

This sponsorship is if you wanted to buy me a coffee, show appreciation for the code or the work I've done, or generally want my contributions to open source to be more sustainable.
