Research Engineer

Visby.io

Performed experiments to explore models for decoding holographic light field video.

• Wrote C++ code and profiled low-level hardware activity to optimize performance, stability, and data throughput as part of a critical feature for the decoding pipeline.
• Designed and implemented a data ETL system in Python for tracking stability metrics.
• Gained exposure to CUDA programming, learning new APls on the fly (e.g libavcodec, OpenSSL) and translating high-level requirements into manageable subtasks.
• Learned to write well-documented code for a large repository, apply best-practice system design principles, and take on many roles in a demanding, fast-paced agile environment.

Animation Studio R&D Intern

Blue Sky Studios

Developed and made improvements to proprietary animation pipeline tools for Blue Sky Studios, an animation studio behind films such as Ice Age and The Peanuts Movie.

• Collaborated with software engineers and artists to build the groundwork for a node-based material designer and create an intuititve UI for texture artist (Python/PyQt).

Physics Educational Content Developer

Bootcamp.com

Creating physics content at Bootcamp.com, an exam preparation service for aspiring optometry students preparing for the Optometry Admissions Test (OAT).

• Collaborate with a team of 3 to write and edit hundreds of physics problems and solutions used by thousands of pre-optometry students.
• Analyze student performance data to identify weak content areas and organize weekly tasks to strategically improve question accuracy and relevancy.
• Design new physics diagrams and illustrations using Adobe Illustrator to support student learning and comprehension.
