A 3D Graphics Engine and motion description scripting language built from scratch in Java.
Supports multiple geometries, affine transformations, and shading models with z-buffering and backface-culling. Able to generate animated gifs using a custom MDL.
Disney-infused magic for cloth simulation and its interaction with dynamic rigid bodies. Cloth is simulated using a physical stretch and bend energy model.
Neat? neat.
A basic 3D fluid solver implementing the stable Navier-Stokes fluid methods described in Jos Stam’s Stable Fluids paper.
This implementation does not use the speed and accuracy optimizations mentioned in the paper, such as FFT and Vorticity Confinement, but instead uses Gauss-Seidel iterative relaxation methods to avoid expensive linear system solvers.
Blastro’s flagship Android apps, now available in the Play Store.
As the sole developer, I worked with most aspects of Android development, including low-level optimization of the REST API, bitmap-caching, and networking procedures, efficient storage and display of data, synchronization of account data, UI/UX design and flow, video player design, and third-party library integration (incl. social media and video advertising).
An industrial Q&A backend for natural language internal documentation lookup and new-hire rampup for company developers. Consumer-facing products (Q&A WebApp, Intellij IDEA and Atlassian Confluence integrations) and Watson-specific pre- and post-processing tools for optimal supervised learning on technical documentation.
A loving recreation of Super Monkey Ball in Ogre3D with 4-player networked matchmaking support, built in five weeks for UT Austin’s Game Technology course.
Implements a fully-featured dynamic level and mesh-building scripting language, single-player leaderboards, 4-player online matchmaking, and Gamecube controller support.
Scale model of the CCTV Building in Beijing, China. Hand-cut, hand-painted.
Live-stream tweets, anywhere you go.
Gamble your money away…for charity. Users compete on a weekly leaderboard for the chance to donate all weekly profits to their charity of choice. Powered by PayPal’s Adaptive Payments API.
Six Degrees of Winston Churchill.
A Perl script that searches IMDB and finds the `` Number and associated path for any given name input. Added additional features and optimizations to perform 10% better than the instructor’s solution.
A StackOverflow variation that ranks solutions by benchmarking their performance securely and asynchronously on our servers.
A gesture recognition and automation system for cheap, accessible, and energy-efficient wireless turn lights. It combines generic accelerometer and gyroscope sensor information from wrist wearables, along with simple GPS localization, to detect user states and communicate with turn lights attached to the user or mounted on the bicycle.
A motion tweening and 3D augmented reality system designed to utilize 3D information recovered from a single 2D image to insert painted structures and mesh models automatically into the image and into subsequent frames of video.
Independent understudy research on the genetic evolution of aesthetically-pleasing fractals using crowd-sourced demonstrations, CNNs, and observable mathematical structures in strange attractor equations.
