Worked with designers to create a new gameplay feature from design to implementation in Unreal Engine. Iterated on prototypes to create designers vision. Used C++ to create a backend information tracking system that was copied from servers to clients to allow clients to get updated info. Created a front-end prototype UI for daily playtesting using Blueprints. I Will update when feature is realesed to the public with more information!
Helped with the instruction of 2 courses, Operating Systems and Advanced Programming in C. Graded labs and assessments, hosted office hours, and aided in instruction of the classes. Addtionally hosted review sessions, worked to help update the grading infrastructure, and updated the courses websites.
Helped improve the UI/UX of a VR application using the MRTK framework in Unity. Performed user studies to determine necessary features and fixes. Published in a research paper about the app.
Working on a project in the Azure Holmes team under Nisarg Sheth. My project - codenamed Dr Watson - would diagnose live migrating virtual machines to improve visibility for team members solving issues, help increase the success rate of migrations and would lay the ground work for future improvements that could allow for a machine learning algorithm to automatically make decisions based on the status of a virtual machine provided by API endpoints I setup. I learned about working with a massive codebase, advanced C# skils, networking, multithreading and how to use databases and logging to understand how processes and services occur in a massive system.
Learned how to develop iOS applications and full stack development in Xcode with Objecive C and Swift. In the first 3 weeks of the 10 week internship, I was taught the ins and outs of iOS development in an accelerated Codepath course. During the course we made clones of IMDB, Twitter and Instagram using the moviedb, Twitter, and Parse APIs respectively. I ranked highly among my classmates due to the amount of stretch features and new features I implemented in my apps. The last 7 weeks were dedicated to my solo capstone project - Piccy, which can be found on my GitHub. This process involved me wireframing and designing the app and planning it out and then implementing the planned features.
Helped high school teachers teach introductory computer science classes. Gave guest speech about my experience.
Taught kids 7-15 how to code in JavaScript, Scratch, Python, C#, and Lua by making games. Helped organize and run day to day operations in center. Created curriculum and ran weeklong day camps during the summer and winter breaks. Created and ran a Python class during Covid-19 online learning. Recommendation letter from my employer can be found on my LinkedIn profile.
Helped run a Python camp for faculty, researchers, professors and teachers around and in Colorado. Wrote curriculum for introductory Python class taken in the folllowing fall semester by undergraduates. Introduced computer science through STEM related fields with an undergraduate partner to K-12 graders. Helped run Coding for Good program where high school students worked on an app to help their community. My team made a carbon footprint calculator website.
