Worked on the secondlife/viewer repository, delivering four features and one bug fix over four months focused on 3D graphics, rendering, and performance optimization. Addressed UI complexity by removing outdated settings, streamlined mesh unregistration to reduce runtime overhead, and optimized 3D object unloading for smoother shutdowns and improved frame rates. Enhanced visual fidelity and stability by refining PBR material handling and improving texture loading reliability, including resource optimization for image-heavy operations. Leveraged C++, XML, and graphics programming expertise to implement targeted changes that improved maintainability, user experience, and code health, demonstrating a methodical approach to both feature development and bug resolution.
