Over a two-month period, contributed to the intel/gits repository by developing targeted diagnostic and utility features for DirectX plugin workflows. Built a plugin in C++ and CMake that compares Raytracing Acceleration Structure sizes between capture and playback, using prebuild and postbuild data streams to surface potential mismatches and improve debugging accuracy. Enhanced the build system by implementing and later removing UTF-8/UTF-16 string conversion utilities, streamlining memory formatting and reducing maintenance overhead. Focused on low-level programming, performance analysis, and code refactoring, these efforts improved pipeline stability, data fidelity, and build reliability for DirectX 12 plugin development and integration.
August 2025 – Intel/gits: Delivered and subsequently refined Unicode and memory formatting utilities for DirectX plugins, with CMake-based build integration for the DX12 path. Implemented UTF-8/UTF-16 conversions and a human-readable memory size formatter, including new utfConversion source/header files and integration into the build system. In parallel, removed utfConversion utilities and their CMake references as the functionality was no longer needed or has been replaced, reducing maintenance burden and potential build issues. Overall, the work improved DirectX 12 plugin reliability, cleaned up the codebase, and hardened the build configuration.

In July 2025, shipped a targeted diagnostic feature for the Intel GITS DirectX path to improve stability and observability in the capture/playback pipeline. Delivered the RTAS Size Mismatch Diagnostics: a new RtasSizeCheck plugin that compares capture vs playback RTAS (BVH) sizes and logs a warning when playback size exceeds capture size, addressing potential BLAS overlap. The implementation refines checks by using capture-time prebuild information for pre-phase and playback-time data for post-phase, ensuring alignment with the correct data streams. This work enhances debugging, reduces risk of runtime artifacts, and improves data fidelity across rendering captures.
