Projects

Ray Traced Photorealistic Video Renderer

  • Developed a multithreaded and object-oriented C++ image render that utilizes a spatial data-structure
  • The program parses and renders a subset of the POV-Ray scene description standard
  • Features include a Cook-Torrance BDRF, reflection, refraction, shadowing, and Fresnel effects
  • Planes, triangles, spheres, boxes, and multiple lights are all supported and can use matrix transformations
  • The renderer applies rudimentary kinematics to produce successive frames for an output video

Tie-Dye Pixel Art Renderer

  • Wrote a renderer in Python with the goal of investigating various methods of process acceleration
  • Implemented JIT compilation using NumPy and Numba to show the drawbacks of the Python interpreter
  • Implemented sequential and parallel running modes to investigate the performance of CPU parallelism
  • Implemented a GPU compute mode with OpenCL to show how the process scales to hundreds of workers
  • Implemented an R*Tree spatial data structure to display the speedup possible with an optimized algorithm

3D Marble Run Platformer Game

  • Collaborated with a group to create a game from scratch in C++ and OpenGL
  • Features include physics simulation, a spatial data structure, PBR shaders, shadow-mapping, environmentmapping, view frustum culling, positional audio, enemy AI, and an adjustable third person camera

Music Visualizer

  • Coded an interactive audio visualization program in C++ and OpenGL using audio captured from the system
  • Programmed a procedural landscape with variable height based on Fast Fourier transform of the audio

AI Video Summarization Tool

  • Worked with a group to create a utility to pare down security camera footage using AI image recognition
  • Developed in Python using YOLOv3 for object detection and OpenCV for image manipulation

Networked Chat App and Packet Analyzer

  • Wrote client and server programs in C that use TCP to convey custom message packets between users
  • Created a utility in C that uses NPCAP to inspect packets, functioning like a basic version of Wireshark

Animation Blending in OpenGL

  • Created an animation in C++ and OpenGL where a model skeleton goes through a series of dances with animation blending
  • The models and dance animations were extracted from the Unreal Engine game Fortnite.

Unix System Stats Logger

  • Wrote a CLI program in C to query unix system files for system and running process stats to be logged periodically to a file

System Building & Networking

  • Built a virtualization server to use as a NAS, DNS resolver, Sophos UTM security gateway, and Docker host

Hangman WebApp (hangman.luengas.dev)

  • Built a hangman webapp using Elm to learn more about web development and functional programming
