Professional Projects
Krakatoa
Krakatoa is AWS Thinkbox’s toolkit for rendering and manipulating particle clouds.
I was on this project for the summer of 2017, and worked mostly on the 3ds Max plug-in. Features I contributed included improvements in the core ray marching algorithms and integration with Phoenix FD simulations.
Frost
Frost is AWS Thinkbox’s particle mesher. I worked on this project briefly in the summer of 2017, and worked on bug fixes for the V-Ray instancing feature.
Sequoia
Sequoia is AWS Thinkbox’s stand-alone tool for processing point clouds.
I was on the team from Fall 2016 to Summer 2017, and I worked on a variety of features, including support for new file types, realtime viewport rendering, the user interface, and continuous integration and process improvements.
Alexa Spoken Language Understanding
Alexa is the virtual assistant used in devices such as the Amazon Echo and the Amazon Echo Dot.
I was on the Alexa Smart Home Spoken Language Understanding team during Summer 2018. I worked on services for preparing reports on automated speech recognition and natural language understanding problems.
Selected Personal Projects
virtuawin-bar
virtuawin-bar is a VirtuaWin module which lists all of the non-empty virtual desktops and highlights the currently active one. It is aesthetically similar to status bars designed to work with tiling window managers, like i3bar and Polybar. virtuawin-bar also optionally provides keybindings for switching focus to a window in a specified cardinal direction, similar to functionality found in tiling window managers.
ray-tracer
A reimplementation of Peter Shirley’s Ray Tracing in One Weekend in Haskell. Supports ray-tracing on multiple cores in parallel. This project was a collaboration with James Johnson.
