Tavis Sotirin-Miller
Founder & Lead Developer
I bring a unique combination of academic rigor, professional research experience, and deep technical expertise to every project. My Master's in Computer Science from DePaul University focused on performance optimization and low-level C++ development, built upon a Mathematics degree from Michigan Technological University.
Foundation & Teaching: Through almost a decade of teaching and mentoring in academia, I developed a comprehensive understanding of the core pillars of mathematics and computer science. My coursework and instruction covered the full spectrum - from linear algebra and differential equations to graph theory and discrete mathematics, from algorithm analysis and computational complexity to compiler design and operating systems. This broad foundation includes database management systems, network architecture, concurrent programming with multithreading, and the mathematical frameworks underlying image processing and AI. Teaching these concepts to others solidified my ability to approach complex problems from multiple angles.
Research Contributions: My research portfolio spans both institutional and independent work. Under ERDC's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, I developed autonomous vehicle sensor processing systems, created 3D physical and visual simulations for extreme environments, and built AI models for prediction and analysis in mission-critical applications. Beyond institutional work, my personal research has explored soft-body dynamics and physics simulation, where I've developed custom compute shaders and novel GPU-accelerated algorithms for real-time deformation and collision detection.
Performance & Optimization: My expertise shines in extracting maximum performance from modern hardware. I specialize in real-time systems that demand microsecond-level optimizations, writing hand-tuned SIMD instructions and cache-aware algorithms. My graphics work spans from low-level Vulkan API programming to high-level engine architecture. Whether optimizing data structures for GPU coherency, implementing lock-free concurrent systems, or designing memory management strategies for massive datasets, I approach each challenge with a deep understanding of hardware limitations and possibilities.
