At Microsoft, I interned with the Minecraft team at Microsoft and used C++ to modify the Minecraft game engine and add new gameplay features. Shadowed software engineers and attended workshops to learn about how software is developed in a professional environment and learned about tools used in professional software development like Git and Visual Studio.
Prototyped a 3D modelling program in C# on top of the Unity game engine for use with portable 3D scanners. The prototype is currently being developed into a fully featured product.
Developed an interop layer between the device driver written in C and managed C# code to be used as a software development kit for developers to control the Omniwear Haptic device from the Unity game engine. Also helped with running user tests of the product.
