Familiarized myself with trends in current game lighting and global illumination by coding a C++ 3D software ray tracer with support for indirect light bounces and transparent materials from scratch.

OpenGL Deferred Renderer:

Source Link: https://github.com/Ihaa21/Coco-Deferred-Renderer

Built a program using C++ and OpenGL which rendered 3D geometry from .obj files with support for texture mapping and deferred shading in GLSL shaders. This project was driven by my interest in 3d rendering and shader programming.

C Compiler:

Gained understanding about how code gets translated and read by a CPU by building a compiler that translates a subset of C to x86 assembly. The compiler supports runtime execution of code and was built from scratch in C++.

Independent Video Game:

Worked independently full time and passionately for 9 months on a multi platform video game app for Android and iOS written completely in C++ with a memory management, profiling tools, and an OpenGL ES renderer. The project is entirely self-driven and built without any external libraries.

Software Rasterizer:

Source Link: https://github.com/Ihaa21/Kiwi-Software-Rasterizer

Implemented a 3D software renderer in C++ that renders transformed textured triangles with depth buffering, and a top left filling rule. By doing so, I gained a greater understanding about the perspective transform, and the actions a GPU must perform in order to produce images on our screens.

Realtime Software Octree Renderer:

Source Link: https://github.com/Ihaa21/Fluffy

Implemented a realtime octree software renderer in C++ which can render highly detailed objects on a single core. The renderer implements a level of detail algorithm to only render per pixel detail, making rendering of complex models dependent on screen size instead of model complexity.

C++ Neural Network:

Coded a neural network that recognizes and reconstructs handwritten digits in images from scratch in C++. This project was inspired by my current research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and image recognition.
