Tom Cauchois is a senior engineer on Pixar’s GPU team, where he’s been developing the Hydra component of OpenUSD for the past 9 years. He’s one of the original authors of the “Hydra Scene Index” API and the “HdEmbree” render delegate, and has enjoyed watching his code metastasize in the wild. Prior to Pixar, Tom worked in game development, consumer electronics, and robotics; all industries where linear algebra knowledge earns you an honest day’s pay.
