Assisted undergrad and masters students with c++ animation projects and graded those projects.Course Description: 3D animation and modeling play significant roles in computer simulation and video game software. Game developers need to have a comprehensive understanding of these techniques. This course introduces algorithms for specifying and generating motion for graphical objects. It addresses practical issues, surveys accessible techniques, and provides straightforward implementations for controlling 3D moving entities with different characteristics. The course covers two broad categories. Students first learn an interpolation-based technique, which allows programmers to fill in the details of the motion or shape once the animator specifies certain basic information, such as key frames, paths, coordinate grids, or destination geometry. Then they learn a behavior-based technique, which generates motion that satisfies a set of rules, such as kinematics, physics, or other constraints.

Worked on the Enterprise Platforms and Corporate Services Integration team on a tool that analyzes Azure Logic Apps to determine their Azure usage. The tool was originally written in python, but later converted to PowerShell to be more in line with team's skills/preferences so it can be more easily maintained or built upon.
