WORK EXPERIENCE

Software Engineer
Panoramah! America
Nov 2016 - Dec 2017
· Migrated a 3D residential windows building project from VBA to C# for factory usein industry. Decreased line of codes into half and significantly reduced the effort to addfeature with modular design.
· Constructed a server on a high performance machine to build 3D window models uponrequests and upload to cloud drive automatically. Saved 50% of the time for a mechanical drafter to construct a typical unit and 75% of the time of constructing a complicate unit.
· Moved the building and compiling of 3D model from client side to server side and simplifiedthe input for building a window. Ensured the sales officers to show clients a 3D modelview in 2 minutes without professional knowledge of 3D modeling。
