Developing the Steam Link App for Meta Quest.Contributing to SteamVR and related projects.

From November to December 2022, I volunteered at Humanos3D in Medellin, Colombia to 3D print prosthetics for those affected by disease, landmines and machinery accidents.Volunteer work included CAD designing, 3d printing and assembling prosthetics.We traveled to Meta, Colombia with the Colombian military to deliver the prosthetics to recipients.

Successfully completed a 4 month GSoC internship working on Monado.During the internship, I ported a driver for VR Gloves that I had been developing for OpenVR to Monado, making it compatible with OpenXR and Linux.This included working on and improving various hand tracking code that already existed in Monado, to support tracking features the gloves supported, such as splay.I also contributed to the OpenXR specification, developing and submitting an OpenXR Extension for Force Feedback, to allow for Force Feedback to be supported in OpenXR Applications. This included working on various other open source projects, such as Godot and StereoKit, to allow for game developers to support the Extension in their games.https://blog.dan-w.com/blog_post/2022/09/09/gsoc-2022-monado.html

Worked closely with the team at TG0 to support their efforts in creating an OpenVR Driver for their eteeVR Controllers.

During this month long internship I worked on both internal tools for their sales team to collect and aggregate information on potential customers, and their new (previously unreleased) product OnDOMAIN. Working with GPT-3, OnDOMAIN searched websites across the internet, looking at sources such as domain names and website images to uncover hostile domains and present them to business owners for takedown.

Developed and tested advanced internal quality control tools and extrusion systems with the engineering team. Tools I developed or built are being used actively on the production line to verify quality standards of products, or used for assembling their products.I also produced tutorial videos for their products which have received hundreds of thousands of views and many positive comments.
