Hello there, I’m Leonardo Fratini.
I’m a Principal Rendering Engineer working at Kunos Simulazioni (developer of AssettoCorsa) working on real-time rendering techniques and graphics architecture in general.
The research topic I am more interested in are local and global illumination techniques and image-space effects.
I am also interested in epistemology, finance, cooking and critical thinking in general.
