Hiya, I'm Ella 👋. I've been contributing to Mesa 3D (the primary userspace GPU driver component on Linux) for the past couple of years primarily working on V3DV (the vulkan driver for newer broadcom videocore GPUs).

I've recently started writing a Vulkan driver intended to be merged into Mesa for use with Asahi Linux and sponsorships help me spend more time working on this rather than anything else.

My work can be found over at the freedesktop gitlab and though it's still early days, the driver can successfully render a spinning cube on Linux and pass a small subset of the Vulkan CTS.
