/* * Helped build an API driven sheet metal fabrication startup. Work written * primarily in C++ and Rust. (Link to portfolio) * * - Replaced a manual quoting team by building the C++/OpenCASCADE engine behind an online * quoter: it unfolds STEP sheet metal parts and detects features (holes, countersinks, * weld seams) to price a part instantly, taking quotes from hours to seconds at hundreds * a day. * - Eliminated the need for a dedicated CAD team by automating STEP part prep (C++, * OpenCASCADE): weld seam detection, bend and corner reliefs, hole correction, shape * repair, and thickness / bend radius regeneration. * - Built a No-Fit-Polygon nesting engine (Rust) that maximizes sheet utilization and emits * CNC G code (kerf compensation, lead ins, micro joints), saving thousands per week by * reusing remnant material. * - Built the camera nester's computer vision pipeline (Python, OpenCV): a ceiling camera * photographs the cutting bed and a trained Roboflow model detects leftover metal, so * parts nest onto real scrap instead of new sheets. * - Built shop floor tools (Next.js / TypeScript) that turn specialist CAD/CAM work into * simple, guided steps, lowering the barrier to entry so technicians could run operations * and earn higher pay. */

/* * - Monitored 50 students over class concepts to solidify understanding of material such as * regular and context free languages, finite state and pushdown automata, and Turing machines. * - Collaborated with 5 other Teaching Assistants in supervising and correcting exams. * - Evaluated and provided feedback on weekly assignments to ensure upward progress. */

// Researched malware packing classification using hardware performance counters; trained ML // classifiers in Python on a labeled dataset, co-authoring a published IEEE paper.

// Open source CodeCAD application (C++) that compiles part definitions written in code into 3D // solid geometry through an OpenCASCADE kernel. Custom scripting language (.kts) with functions, // typed parameters, and a pipe operator, parsed by a Flex/Bison front end.

// Senior design project built with a small team: an open source, browser based 3D modeling tool // akin to Blender. Implemented in browser 3D modeling, rendering, and STL export with React Three // Fiber (Three.js).
