Hello, I'm Adrian.

I'm a staff software engineer from the world of computer graphics. For the last decade at Google I've been building the tools and infrastructure necessary to get ideas from the minds of designers into the hands of our users. I work in the space between visual design and software engineering, particularly at scale. (And yes, we're working on lots of AI these days.)

I've been lucky to get to do interesting things like

• lead the engineering for Google Design, Google’s central design and UI team
• help deliver the Material Design UI component libraries that power all your favorite Google products
• build Google's "planet-scale" infrastructure for creating and managing design tokens for all of its products
• write SDKs for interfacing with some famous very large touchscreens (before the iPhone was released!)
• develop new algorithms for figuring out how humans prefer to view 3D models
• invent algorithms to teach computers to "draw"

I've presented to thousands on stage at places like Siggraph and Google I/O, and have been interviewed on the Design Notes podcast. You can find me at the usual places like LinkedIn, GitHub, or Google Scholar, come say hi.
