Designed and implemented a dynamic type system in modern C++ for dynamically loaded GUI components and eliminated 10 crash sources to improve application stability. Refactored 2,000 lines of legacy C++ to contemporary standards and implemented multi-theme, colorblind-accessible UI through PR reviews with senior engineers.

Analyzed 7 bullet and fragment penetration algorithms used in weapon-versus-vessel simulations and authored an analyst manual synthesizing those reports (logic, equations, parameters, and units). Produced flowcharts, identified numerical instabilities and edge cases affecting simulation accuracy, and validated assumptions with SMEs.

Contributed to engineering modeling and simulation software for analyzing attacks on ships and submarines and integrated a computational geometry library to compute projectile–structure intersections. Migrated bullet penetration algorithms from C to Python, performed verification and validation against SME reference data, and built a PySide6 interface to define bullets, run simulations, and visual

Worked on modeling and simulation software evaluating damage effects on ships and submarines by rewriting a computational geometry library to fix defects and improve performance. Implemented core geometry algorithms (monotone polygon triangulation, gift wrapping, and ray–mesh intersection) and benchmarked improvements, increasing ray–mesh intersection performance by over 50%.
