I was a research assistant who developed tools to process and visualize geometry. I wrote C++, Java, and batch scripts to work with meshes built from biomedical data, and I worked with analysts who use the tools to work with the data to improve the software.

I developed for the CGAL open source library, extending a 2D visualization to demonstrate an API to construct an arrangement of curves.

From 2005-2010, I earned a double major at San Jose State University, as well as a minor in Chinese. I was involved in math and computer science clubs and contributed to developing websites, mostly in PHP.

During my third year as an undergraduate student, I went to study abroad for a year in Hong Kong. I took math and engineering classes in addition to language and general education classes, and the experience turned me on to the idea of working abroad.
