Developed a C++-based desktop app for the analysis and design of pole structures. I focused on developing the user interface (UI) to create various pole models and connect the service layer to export a model created by the user to the analysis engine. For the analysis engine, we used readily available libraries instead of writing our own. We wrote both engine parts in C++ and utilized Qt Widgets and Qt Core for the UI and service layer. Additionally, I created 2D and 3D geometries for the UI with OpenGL.

The pile foundation modeler is a C++-based desktop app that analyzes and designs pile foundations. I was the lead software developer of the project and was responsible for three aspects: architecture, analysis engine, and mesh generator.

For the architecture part, I employed multiple design patterns, such as the Strategy, Bridge, Factory Method, Adapter, and Iterator patterns, to achieve reusable and maintainable objects. For the analysis engine, I primarily relied on my mechanics' knowledge and the strong capabilities of the Eigen and Boost libraries for solving linear and nonlinear systems of equations. Lastly, I used graph data structure to store the vertices and edges of the geometries and advanced computational geometry algorithms such as Delaunay triangulation and Q-mesh algorithms to develop an efficient and robust mesh generator.

My Work on LOOP™: Advancing 3D knitted fabric design.

As a software developer for LOOP™, the industry's first web-based CAD/CAM application for 3D knitted fabrics and products, I played a key role in developing critical technical components that power its unique capabilities.

I designed an object-oriented graphics engine specifically tailored for 3D knitting technology, establishing the foundation for LOOP™'s visual system that seamlessly handles multiple file dimensions (3D, 2D, and granular knit level) with synchronized real-time editing capabilities. One of my major contributions was implementing isolines and harmonic field extractors using the "geometry-central" 3D geometry library. This work enabled advanced pattern generation capabilities essential to the platform's functionality.

I'm particularly proud of my optimization work on the geodesic path extractor, which I refined to perform in real time with minimal latency. This enhancement allowed designers to instantaneously visualize complex knitting paths, significantly improving the user experience regardless of expertise level.
