• Improved Visio's Desktop API Performance by as much as 50% for several user scenarios through profiling, identifying CPU/Memory bottlenecks, optimizing those chunks and fixing technical debt
• Enhanced Visio Online's canvas touch gestures - introduced focused zoom on the canvas
• Worked on making the online canvas more fluid by attempting to bridge the gap between Visio Win32 and Visio Online

• Built a system to automatically generate 3D scenes from 2D drawings and shape data - also viewable/interactable in Mixed Reality. A prototype for the same was demoed at Hannover Messe '18, Microsoft Ignite '18 and Microsoft Deutsche Partnerkonferenz '18.
• Enhanced Visio's Aesthetic Engine by introducing new algorithms for automatically laying out shapes on the canvas.

• While using libraries like VTK and OpenGL, a graphics window is generally accompanied by another that contains all the control elements like buttons, sliders, text-boxes, etc. We designed and developed a way to bring these elements into the graphics window itself.
• We developed widgets from scratch over the existing 3D elements, which allow interaction with these elements. These widgets were built on VTK without using external libraries like Qt or GTK.
• The idea was to enhance the user experience in a unique way - by bringing interactions closer to the elements themselves.
• This project is still under active development, and we frequently merge new UI elements into the codebase.

• I initiated a project to future-proof legacy custodian applications by building a REST API controller. Built on NodeJS and Express, the controller is modular, re-programmable and uses ORM to connect to databases. A prototype application using AngularJS and Materialize was built to prove that the controller works.
• I received a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) for exceptional performance over the internship.

• We built interfaces in Qt5 to install third party plugins, platform-independently across five KDE applications by querying for plugins using Appstream and then installing using PackageKit.
• This also involved porting KDE applications and libraries like Network-Filesharing and language-plugins from KDELibs4 to KF5.
