Mountain View, CA, US

Natural language processing infrastructure.

Vancouver, BC, CA

Designed, implemented in C++, documented, and currently support numerous in-house 3-D animation and deformation plugins (~3000 lines) to the 3D graphics package Maya (Autodesk). Introduced the embedding of Qt/C++ and GHC Haskell runtime into Maya at SPI (and wrote the plugins to do so) and championed migration of complex GUI suites from MEL/ELF to Qt/C++.

London, London, GB

Designed and coded in C++ a 3D ray tracer and turbulence advection scheme for modeling, animating, and rendering clouds, used in a test sequence for X-Men. Designed and implemented a powerful stack-based domain-specific language for Kodak's premiere 2D graphics library (then available only as a C++ API) that was successfully used by artists for effects not.

Northridge, CA, US

Expanded and validated infrared sensor models using signal processing techniques (matched/Wiener/Kalman filtering, eigensystem/fourier analysis, likelihood) and implemented numerical simulations to validate existing mathematical models and plan for and assess the results of field tests. Studied gravity and internal ocean waves and radiative properties of.

Washington, District Of Columbia, US

Taught mathematics (in French) to junior high and high school students. Promoted cross-cultural understanding. Planted and maintained a demonstration garden to promote better nutrition.
