During July 2025, contributed to the Autodesk/hydra-viewport-toolbox repository by establishing an API surface for dynamic material updates within the SceneDataSource component. Developed a new updateMaterial endpoint using C++ as a scaffold, which currently functions as a stub that logs a runtime error, thereby defining the API contract and providing a safe extension point for future logic. This approach lays the groundwork for runtime material property changes and enhances the extensibility of scene management workflows. The work demonstrates disciplined version control and a focused delivery, leveraging API development and scene management skills to enable future material-driven features in the project.
