Snap,
Computer Vision Engineer developing and deploying real-time machine-learning systems on mobile, including skeleton tracking, segmentation, and 9D object tracking used by millions of Snapchat users.
3D Reconstruction
Developed systems for reconstructing complete 3D assets from a small number of product images, including novel texturing and projection methods. The pipeline was used to produce thousands of assets for customers including Nike, Zalando, and Famous Footwear.
3D Tools & Graphics
Built a 3D modeling application from scratch in C and OpenGL, including custom modeling, rendering, rigging, animation, texturing, UI, and WebGL/WASM technology.
Research & Education
M.Sc. in Computer Science from Ben-Gurion University, with research published at CVPR, and B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Technion.
Released Game - Exodus
Peleg developed and released Exodus, a Steam game built from scratch in C and OpenGL. The project included his own 3D engine, rendering systems, math and game logic code, a graphical level editor, and a unique mechanic where the ground changes dynamically in real time.
