In 2019 he came home and founded Traverse Research, starting with micro-benchmarks and a pre-silicon ray-tracing suite for Imagination Technologies. In 2024 he co-founded the Graphics Programming Conference in Breda with Johan Andersson and Matthäus Chajdas.

“I left Breda to learn this. I came back to build it.”
