I just graduated with my Masters in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis. I'm looking to find a job in the video game industry and eventually go back to school for my Doctorates. I am experienced in C/C++, Perl, Assembly, and like working with linux.

Implementation Of Multi-Partitioning Surface Construction From 2D Curves
Description: Presented is an implementation that automatically constructs a 3D surface network from 2D curve networks with arbitrary topology.
The surface network generated exactly interpolates the curve network presented on each plane and is guaranteed to be free of gaps and self-intersections.
The motivation behind this implementation was to build a high-resolution 3D model of the mouse brain from 2D anatomical boundaries defined on 350 tissue sections.
Gaussian Blur of Bezier 4pt Scheme Curves --- download here
Description: Presented is Blurring of Bezier Curves using a Gaussian Blur filter.
The Bezier Curves are constructed using the 4pt scheme after placing control points. Control points are movabe and blur is seen in real-time.
3d Pop-Up --- download here
Description: This project was to produce a cheap 3d effect from 2d images. The user draws an horizon line, then proceeds to draw polylines around objects in the image. These polyline cut-outs are then displayed, in respect to the horizon, to create an 3d effect. Feel free to download the executable here.
Also, here are some other screenshots:

Polarity - 3d Shooter --- download here
Description: Polarity is a unique 3d Shooter developed over a course of a few months with a large code base and a team of 5 people.
"..Each has its own polarity, positive or negative. Player ship's polarity is represented by its color and projectiles are affected by ships from opposing team. Player ship may change its polarity. Projectiles retain their polarity once fired ..."
