Experience
Area Selection Feature in a CAD Application
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUHN66WL07IAs a lead developer, I was responsible for the planning, prototyping, and implementing the new area selection feature in a next-generation CAD application (Mac/iPad/Windows). I coordinated between Product, Design, QA, and my developer team.
Pitch to MIDI Audio Signal Processing Plug-in
As a self-employed developer, I created a novel audio plug-in that transcribes the notes played on an instrument or the human voice into MIDI notes. The work involved developing a novel signal-processing algorithm, implementation, UI design, website, and business tasks.
Advent of Code Achievements
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ytQwtcIyU1U9JH1MpoWZczmaX5pLNhn/view?usp=sharingTo keep my algorithmic thinking in shape, I have completed all Advent of Code tasks since 2015.
The popular AOC programming contests take place every year between the 1st and 25th of December and consist of 25 increasingly difficult algorithmic problems, one each day. The hardest ones are usually about finding a smart way to reduce the algorithmic complexity of a seemingly impossible task.
