About me

Hello!.. my name is Jacobo Ríos ¹.  I’m a computer programmer, especially passionate about real-time Graphics and Engine Programming. I’m currently working at Hydra-Technologies building a custom 3D Flight and Terrain Analysis Simulation system for the aerospace industry; but in the past I have had the honor to work on different projects for game companies like Digital Extremes, Sony San Diego Studio, Electronic Arts, Larva Game Studios, and Immersion Games. I also occationally speak at conferences and local universities.

I have just started this blog in an attempt to record so many interesting discussions and personal thoughts (mostly about graphics programming and gamedev) that arise with coworkers, friends and industry colleagues. Discussions I greatly enjoy and find so enriching, but unfortunately oftentimes end up lost among posts in some social network, or simply forgotten after a conversation.

You can find me at:

¹ Many people wonder how should they pronaunce it; while that would be: /xaˈkoβo ˈri.os/, you can just call me Jacob as most of my english-speaking friends do, and we’re cool.
