  Improved 3D graphics (OpenGL) features of C++ open-source software, x-IMU3-GUI, for IMU product. Implemented realtime 3D rendering and shaders for IMU model with lighting. Redesigned 3D HUD elements in screen-space (axes gizmos) and created minimalistic world scene elements (grid & compass). Refactored OpenGL code to simplify code structure and reduce CPU/GPU usage. Worked on a team prioritizing code quality and style with code reviews. Worked in the JUCE app framework for C++. Prototyped UI/UX design alternatives and aided in design decisions.

  • Aug 2020 - Feb 2023

  Created 3 OpenGL audio visualizers: oscilloscope, frequency spectrum, 3D blob. Implemented realtime physically based 3D rendering and material editor for metallic workflow. Wrote shaders for 2D line graphs with cheap glow using SDFs. For visualization audio processing, used FFT, buffer simplification techniques, and ballistics filter. Programmed ~70% of UI of SubLabXL audio plugin product. Used JUCE ValueTree for UI update system when possible. Worked on team of 3 software engineers and 1 designer. Prototyped for UI/UX design phases and translated final designs to C++ code in the JUCE plugin framework. Used multithreading and thread safety techniques.
