CTO of WeDesign.Live

• Jul 2015 - Jan 2017

Leader of WeDesign.Live, the future standard for 3D printing.Leader of MP5 project and CTO of WeDesign.Live .Responsible for development of the 3D designer software, specifications and development of the MP5 format, the slicing software, and R&D for mathematical modelling of solid objects used in the MP5 format. We Design Live! was grown out of the MP5 project in MyMinifactory.com and iMakr .We Design Live! provides a live collaborative platform for designing. It also includes a slicer software designed from scratch. It uses MP5 as the file format for 3D printing.The designer interface is web based and the UX is with 3D printing in mind. Our project is the pioneers in live collaborative 3D design. We Design is the first live collaborative environment for designing together for 3D printing. WeDesign (with MP5) is setting the future standard of 3D printing and solid modelling for 3D printing. WeDesign is an open source development project. The Alpha version is out now. http://wedesign.liveSkills: JavaScript (extensively), Python, Node.js, 3D solid modelling, computational geometry, Linear Algebra, 3d printing, open source leadership, , Agile/Scrum, CSS, Docker, JS: ThreeJS, AngularJS, PhysiJS, QUnit, WebGL Shader SL, Tween, SciPy, NumericJS, High Performance Python (300x speedup), High performance C++, Emscripten, high performance numerical and graphical calculations on browser (JavaScript/Emscripten; 250x speedup), ...

Postdoctoral Research Associate

• May 2014 - Sep 2014

At Rob Lucas lab: Characterizing lower level vision in genetically modified animals using various Spike Triggered Analysis methods. Implemented an unbiased Spike Triggered Covariance with robust statistical tests suitable for extreme sample size and highly noisy responses at very low signal-to-noise ratios (Two STC method implemented: Pillow et al, and Gollisch & Samengo). Implemented an Information-Theoretic method for detecting visual features in LGN of mice with genetically modified retina. Skills: STC, STA, Linear Algebra, Information Theory, Statistical Tests, Matlab.
