Moin!

I’m Chip Collier. A software developer with extensive experience spanning several industries from film vfx and animation to automotive. Highlights include Digital Domain, Laika, AVID, and Nvidia.

I consider myself a CMake expert, and in my opinion it’s really the least bad build system when paired with ccache and ninja.

Happy to work in C++, C, C#, and Rust. I somehow managed to gain 10 years of mostly professional experience with Rust including having brought it to my current employer.

Lately I’ve also started using Zig and dabbling with Swift.

My residence since Dec 2014 has been a little town in northern Germany near Hamburg.

Aside from software development, I love to mess around on my guitars, make sound collages using field recordings, cuddle my dogs, and play shmups.
