I work on front-end tools for data visualization, enabling scientific exploration and public sharing of large datasets. I use React and TypeScript to contribute to open-source repositories that advance our foundational knowledge of how cells grow, change, and develop.

I developed VR demo content for the HaptX Dk2 haptic gloves using Unreal Engine 4. I wrote shaders using Unreal's Material Editor, architected multiplayer-compatible demo systems using Blueprints, and created custom 3D models and other assets in Blender. I iteratively designed level spaces and prototyped virtual interactions using stakeholder feedback.During my time at HaptX, I also planned and executed timelines for demos, specifying features and delivery milestones. I established the workflow and best practices for version control of binary data (using Git LFS), enabling teamwide collaboration in Unreal Engine.

I developed an automated testing framework in Python for load-testing Nitro components. Over the course of my internship, I led my project through the entire product lifecycle, including design, iterative prototyping, and documentation, writing 1200+ lines of production-quality code.

I interned on the automated classification and detection of deep-sea creatures project, creating a video benchmark for evaluating tracking algorithm performance on seafloor footage. In the process, I worked extensively with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other cloud-based computing platforms, making use of containerization tools like Docker to deploy tracking algorithms and detection models in Linux-based containers.My work narrowed down the tracking algorithms that were best suited for our video dataset, as well as gain an understanding of their accuracy and precision using standardized metrics.

I developed Bycatch-22, a virtual reality game built for the HTC Vive that is centered around fisheries bycatch (a marine conservation issue). The project was built in Unity/C# using the SteamVR plugin, and was presented at the Seattle Mini Maker Faire and Seattle Startup Week. Bycatch-22 was also playable at the Pacific Science Center's 'What is Reality' exhibit.Additionally, as a VR intern, I reviewed VR experiences for classroom use, conducting interviews with developers and writing original articles and other content pieces.

I acted as a data logger onboard the E/V Nautilus, writing extensive status updates during ROV dives and side-scan sonar operations. I also assisted in the documentation, collection, and preservation of biological and geologic samples. All of this was accompanied by interaction with a live online audience during dives, where I interpreted scientific concepts to a diverse audience and contributed live commentary on the dive status.I also engaged online audiences via hand-drawn and watercolored travel comics centered around ocean exploration which were posted to social media (Instagram/Facebook) and self-published in print form (Live from the Deep).
