Led a group of 3 engineers to design, build, and ship an 'automatic videos' feature for the Windows Photos app under tight timeline. It constructs a video from your photo and video clips, sets it to music, and applies transitions and effects to generate a shareable video memory.

Led development on an internal HoloLens project which made it possible for users to create multiplayer mixed reality experiences and presentations with no programming knowledge. Designed core infrastructure and managed feature prioritization, scheduling, and bug triage throughout early milestone gate. Prototype was built on Unity and Photon.

Part of HoloLens experiences teams from early concept phase through shipping the initial product. Key accomplishments:* Architected video playback system for HoloTour on the original HoloLens, which gave the impression of looking at panoramic 8k video on a thermally limited and underpowered device. It was a prioritization and scheduling system plus a custom native plugin that manipulated video streams prior to decoding with Media Foundation* Gameplay, UX, and systems programming for HoloTour and other internal HoloLens prototypes* After hours, developed a prototype for using HoloLens as an extended virtual monitor for a windows PC* Validated prototype HoloLens hardware plans through experimentation Kinect Star Wars finalizing -- our team was brought in at the end of development to add speeder bike levels to the main campaign. Key accomplishments:* Built speeder enemy encounter system* Took over dev lead responsibilities midway through, organizing 3 more senior engineers* Performance optimizations and bug fixes* Dramatically increased iteration time for the team by designing and implementing a checkpoint system (30+ second delay on death reduced to nearly instant)Kinect Fun Labs -- showcased interesting technical applications of Kinect sensor for novel gameplay. Resulted in multiple patents. Key accomplishments:* Improved accuracy of finger tracking by training raw output using machine learning model (SVM) and adding temporal filtering * SIMD optimized finger tracking logic * Presented overview of system at GameFest 2011 keynote

Over a summer, I developed a blob tracking system enabling up to four users to play an early version of River Rush in Kinect Adventures. The Kinect skeletal tracking supported only two players at the time and this work allowed a larger group to participate in gameplay at lower fidelity - tracking their position, ducks, and jumps. This work formed the basis of the patent "Tracking Groups of Users in Motion Capture System".

Basic training in a number of areas in the Pixar film pipeline including modeling (Maya), shading and lighting.

Taught a weekly section for the intro computer science class covering basic programming in C. Also held weekly office hours and graded tests and homework.
