EXPERIENCE

Software Developer (React, Three.js, Tensorflow.js, WebRTC, Unity) Jan 2024 – Present Center for Research in Education Simulation Technology (CREST) at UCF Orlando, FL

• Migrating the Unity desktop app TeachLive to the frontend-heavy web platform WAVE

• App is a 3D virtual environment for school teachers and students to practice social skills and human interactions on trained professional virtual puppeteers who control the virtual environment

• Imported the scenes and characters into Three.js using the UnityGLTF open source plugin and implemented character animations as a combination of pre-animated clips and one-to-one movement projection

• Designing a new AI/ML module that issues controls input to the characters based on the Tensorflow classifying model that recognizes puppeteers gestures and body poses

• Implementing a client-to-client virtual call format between participants using WebRTC and WebSocket

• Work is contractual in nature and is part of UCF’s Senior Design program (capstone project) Physics Tutor Oct 2021 – May 2022

Grand Valley State University Grand Rapids, MI

• Helped 50+ students solve physics problems and explained physics concepts

• Covered topics from Physics I & II: Statics, Dynamics, Optics, and Electromagnetism PROJECTS

Effective Learning (Spring Boot, React, JPA/Hibernate, PostgreSQL, Docker, K8s, AWS S3) Github

• Created a cloud file system for educational data (docs, power-points, source code) that eases attaching metadata to files that can be further used to drill learners on their material

• Designed a Spring backend in a microservices architecture to be a fit for a containerized production environment when the app is ready to scale and serve my network of like-minded effective learners

• Persistence is centered around AWS S3 for file storage and Postgres (ORM) for metadata and file-path resolution

• Frontend was created using CoreUI open source React UI library and the visual inspiration was drawn from the Canvas learning management system

AI Clip Editor (Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe) Github

• Built a Python CLI app that takes long (20-30 minute) footages of my athletic vertical jumps and outputs the 2-second clips of each individual jump sorted from highest to lowest jumps

• Achieved cutting the storage footprint of 10GB/week and a full transition from manual to automated clip editing

• Implemented the jump detection system (accuracy 90%) with Mediapipe’s body landmark model and the athletes elbow and wrist landmarks to classify when they reach the height target to be qualified as a jump

• Used a heap data structure to sort the heights of the jumps with the comparable variable being the amount of frames of the jump clip recognized as airborne
