Full-stack C++ engineering on Google ScholarDesigned algorithm to identify duplicate user profiles with high precision based on noisy, user-provided dataRetrofitted production NoSQL database schema and application logic to emulate multi-row transactional access patterns given only single-row transactional guaranteesDesigned UX for user management of multiple controlled profilesRevamped big-data clustering MapReduce to nearly double the precision of clusters produced for a challenging subset of the input

Studied computer graphics and path-tracing rendering under Kavita Bala and Steve MarschnerDeveloped a likelihood ratio stochastic optimization framework in C++ to match the appearance of real materials inside a path-tracing rendererApplied optimization framework to match appearance of various cloth swatches down to microscopic scale based on photographic measurements and CT scan dataCo-wrote ACM TOG paper detailing method and practical results

Assisted students in undergraduate Algorithms and Graphics with assignments and understanding of course contentRebuilt core of Java code base for six graphics assignments to incorporate modern OpenGL features, dramatically improving performanceManaged 20 undergraduate graders in Algorithms, taking responsibility for timely completion of grading

Repurposed body of C++ research code for deformable object simulation for release as an open-source libraryExhibited library features and supported simulation methods in a practice and experience paper
