Hi, I’m Niall! I’m an R&D Software Engineer who fits somewhere at the intersection of Computer Graphics and Machine Learning. I have specific interests in Physics-Based Simulation & Animation, Neural Rendering, and VR/XR.

I began my career in the visual effects industry as an FX Technical Director at 17, before transitioning toward research-driven engineering through an MSc in Computer Science (High-Performance Graphics). This site collects selected technical projects, experiments, and work samples across both domains. You can read more About Me.


I’m currently not active professionally while dealing with an event that has deeply impacted my health. This concerns an alleged Discrimination & Victimisation situation that occurred at Apple in June 2024.

On 1 April 2026, I wrote an article about this on my sister site: Edge Case Existence. You can view the article below.
