As one of the earliest engineering hires at Higharc, I have played a pivotal role in designing and implementing foundational systems in our computer-aided design (CAD) platform. My work often involves the development of forward-looking features that expand system capabilities and introduce innovative patterns.- Architected and implemented the electrical system from the ground up, enabling seamless integration between rule-based placement and direct interaction methods.- Built a component system for room layouts, facilitating the sharing and reuse of modular room configurations across rooms and homes.- Developed a room decomposition algorithm to accurately classify critical dimensions in non-standard room shapes.- Created a floor takeoff system for declaratively identifying functional floor areas down to specific wall layers.- Designed an algorithm to resolve complex non-orthogonal wall join conditions.- Introduced a software pattern for interacting with dynamic entities, transforming previously all-or-nothing systems into interactive ones.- Engineered entity remapping algorithms to ensure predictable positioning after edits to room shapes.- Implemented auto-tagging algorithms for entities in elevation views.- Developed the edge modifiers system to conditionally adjust edges of rooms, roofs, and other home entities.- Contributed to numerous other foundational components of the system over the past five years, playing an integral role in building a CAD platform from the ground up. Due to the breadth of work, many additional contributions are not detailed here.Beyond technical contributions, I regularly prepare and shape work for other engineers, bridging product and engineering thinking. When working in code primarily authored by others, I maintain a collaborative approach, respecting the intent and conventions of the author. I am a fierce advocate for engineering excellence and equitable access to building impactful features within the organization.
