Created a 3D application for visualization, modification, analysis, automated adjustment, metrics computation, comparison, and database archival of data from the calibration tables of multiple scanner models. This allowed the company to significantly improve scanning accuracy on already-deployed scanners without recalling them, and to obtain more and better metrics for the scanning quality of future scanners. _Technologies used_: [Java], [C++], [Swing], [MySQL], [OpenGL], [WSDL]. * **Teaching Assistant** at **[McGill University]** (_Fall 2011_) Upgraded the 3D engine and the UI engine of Spaceracer, a space racing game used in assignments for CompSci. students to write their AI modules for controlling the spaceship. _Technologies used_: [Java], [jMonkeyEngine 3]. * **Research student** on the **[Mammoth Project]** at **[McGill University]** (_May 2011 — August 2011_) Ported the client to a new game engine, rewriting a large portion of the graphics-related code in the process. Took advantage of the possibilities of the new graphics engine by improving performance and adding in more features and effects through the use of GLSL shaders. _Technologies used_: [Java], [jMonkeyEngine 3], [GLSL]. * **Software developer** (internship) at **[Dental Wings]** (_June 2010 — August 2010_) Wrote an internal Java application (Swing toolkit) to assist in testing the accuracy of 3D dental scanners, by comparing the scanned data with reference models and generating a metrology accuracy report for each scanner. \pagebreak Personal projects ----------------- * **[everVoid]** (_Open-source, [CC-BY-3.0 license] (Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported)_) A full-fledged, turn-based, multiplayer, cross-platform strategy space game written in Java, started as part of a school project. _Technologies used_: [Java], [jMonkeyEngine 3], [OpenGL], [GLSL]. _Team_: [Valentin Bonnet], [Pier-Luc Gagnon], [Laura Leclerc] (artist), [Etienne Perot] * **[SrcDemo2]** (_Open-source, [BSD license]_) A cross-platform desktop application that creates a virtual filesystem in a Source engine-based game's directory, forcing the rendering engine to bypass the disk entirely in order to speed up rendering and smooth rendered frames. This allows game movie creators to produce very high-quality videos without expensive software other than the game itself. _Technologies used_: [Java], [Qt-Jambi] (Java bindings for [Qt]), [fuse-jna], [Valve Source engine]. * **[fuse-jna]** (_Open-source, [BSD license]_) Java bindings library to the FUSE kernel module for Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. This allows the user to write custom filesystems using Java only, without having to worry about the operating system kernel. _Technologies used_: [Java], [JNA], [FUSE], [fuse4x], [OSXFUSE], [MacFUSE]. * **[DamnVid]** (_Open-source, [GPLv3 license]_) A cross-platform desktop application that downloads and converts videos from the local disk or from video streaming websites. _Technologies used_: [Python], [wxPython] (Python bindings to [wxWidgets]), [ffmpeg].
