Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Martin is a software engineer with 13 years of experience focused on game code and open-source tooling, based in San Diego. He maintains and improves the Synergy mod for Source engine coop play while developing SABRE.js, a GPU-accelerated JavaScript renderer that brings Advanced SubStation Alpha subtitles to the web and low-end devices. His contributions to high-profile projects include WebAudioAPI integration work in Emscripten and a texture-format fix adopted by Citra and its forks, demonstrating a knack for cross-platform, low-level multimedia problem solving. He blends practical performance-minded engineering—drawn from a lifelong fascination with clever, efficient hacks—with a background in security consulting and biomedical-sensor protocol development. Comfortable across the full stack of web, graphics and emulation stacks, he tends to tackle niche compatibility and performance challenges that others skip. Outside work he’s an active maintainer and community contributor who still spends spare time evolving his open-source projects.
