5of7 | Lead Programmer Fluid Desk
CAD Software Firm
Fall 2005 - Winter 2008 |  | - See a quick presentation of my work here.
- Led a team of three developing a mesh-based geometric primitives API, supporting variably-triangulated, highly-flexible surface approximations, along with operations for creating various sections/intersections thereof.
- Used the above API to construct ~150 distinct 3d piping and ventilation elements, configured dynamically by dimensions retrieved from a UI and manufacturer specifications.
- Developed a Hidden Line Removal (HLR) engine, which takes 3d scenes of elements from any viewpoint and renders a symbolic 2d line drawing of use to sanitary engineers.
- Developed a parametric geometry primitives API as a compliment to the mesh-based API. This was used for HLR as well as extremely accurate collision detection.

7of7 | SweetBlue source, video, website, docs, wiki
Bluetooth Low Energy for Android... with a simple, consistent, async-event-based API that drastically reduces the effort needed to bring a BLE app to market. Headed development, pushed through its public release, and was technical point of contact for over a dozen proprietary licensees.
|  | This started as an internal project to aid in developing iDevices Connected, but I saw the potential this could have for all Android BLE apps and championed the cause of getting it open sourced under the GPL together with a proprietary licensing system which brought iDevices roughly $100,000 in additional annual revenue. |
