Over a three-month period, Michael McDonough developed foundational GPU shader and rendering pipeline components for the Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs repository. He established a 3D-to-2D projection pipeline and implemented vertex shaders using C and C++, focusing on matrix transformations and perspective projection. His work included utilities for exporting rendered images to PPM format and a Python-based shader emulator to prototype GPU shader simulation. Emphasizing architectural clarity, he maintained detailed design logs and code reviews to ensure traceability and reproducibility. The depth of his contributions provided a robust technical baseline for future GPU-accelerated rendering and shader optimization experiments within the project.
