Ozgun Genc

Conducted R&D in Neural Graphics and Computer Vision for Augmented Reality and 3D Commerce applications. Leveraged neural 3D reconstruction techniques to convert product photography into mesh assets for AR and virtual try-on applications, while also researching novel methods for texture transfer and product colorway generation from sparse views.

Designed, developed, and marketed "OZ Effects", a video effects editor app for iPhone/iPad. This application showcases creative GPU-based (Metal) camera and video effects.

Developed a Metal and OpenGL-based mobile video graphics engine for popular video editing apps, including Funimate. Created new video effects for mobile GPU, including shader-based implementation and app integration, and migrated existing OpenGL pipelines to Metal while optimizing graphics performance for Android and iOS devices.

Developed Computer Vision algorithms for Augmency's novel Projection-based AR headset. Implemented Object Tracking and Projection Mapping for AR using OpenCV, NDK, Android, and Unity3D.

Led the design and development of a cloud-controlled Audio-Visual CMS/Digital Signage product. This involved overseeing the entire product lifecycle from conceptualization to deployment.

Worked on Smart TV, Android TV, Smart Home, and Hotel TV projects, researching solutions, implementing features, and building rapid prototypes. Designed and implemented an Animated Feature OSD demo screen that ran as the store mode in Vestel manufactured TV sets globally.

Contributed to the development of a GPU-based 3D Graphics Engine for the Flash Platform to run on web browsers. This involved shader-level graphics programming using Adobe Graphics Assembly Language.

Conducted research on Super-resolution Video Enhancement Techniques. Served as a Teaching Assistant for Advanced Programming (C/C++) and Introduction to Programming (JAVA) classes.

Developed and documented a new feature, "Do Not Disturb" Service Support for Hunt Groups, for Turk Telekom. Held code ownership of SCTP/IUA/M3UA modules in Nortel switches, gaining experience in large-scale, long-term software development within a multinational environment.
