David developed interactive 3D energy simulations for the STEAM-POWER_V3 repository, focusing on realistic visualization and user-driven configuration. Over two months, he engineered dynamic sun and wind turbine models, integrating Babylon.js and JavaScript to enable real-time solar positioning, windmill rotation controls, and animated water wheels. He enhanced asset management by updating GLB assets and refining loading logic, which improved scene realism and maintainability. David also introduced a unified data panel for real-time energy statistics and a wind direction UI, supporting operational visibility. His work demonstrated depth in 3D graphics, simulation, and UI development, delivering robust, scalable features without reported bugs.
