1) Helped implement features and metrics for inner source packages/libraries used by hundreds of USAA employees. These features included sci-kit learn methods or enhancement of quatro markdown documentation features. These were implemented using Python.2) Reducing response times below five seconds through requests of core APIs in an internal application used by thousands of employees in different subdivisions using Spring Boot and Java.3) Tested and documented database queries for debugging and testing purposes.4) Reduced vulnerabilities of repositories and projects of an API by updating their dependencies and testing their pipelines.

1) Utilized Unity 3D, TypeScript, and Unity’s UI toolkit to design and develop a mobile 3D random number generator mining game on the ZEPETO platform. Unity 3D and TypeScript. TypeScript was used rather than the default C# due to implementation in ZEPETO's game platform.2) Received full approval from ZEPETO developers to publish the game and upon releasing, gained 2000+ users visited with certification of game development given by ZEPETO developers hosting the program.3) Communicated with 3-4 ZEPETO/Unity developers to help continuously improve and debug issues in mechanical gameplay such as ray-casting or user input.4) Programmed 14 scripts to systematize, communicate and synchronize player input, user storage, UI features, and any other in-game mechanic with object oriented programming. These included UI interactions to correspond to a game mechanic (i.e. touching a button to destroy a game object), player statistics such as the location of a player in-game or a fully implemented inventory system to keep track of a player's collection of items.5) Participated in bi-weekly classes for 3 months integrating and understanding Unity’s UI, game design system, multi-play, audio system, and AI features. These were hour long remote classes held on Zoom to teach the fundamentals of Unity's gaming design system and ZEPETO's API (around 25 or more hours worth of classes).
