Effect SDK (AR & Computer Vision): Developed a cross-platform AR SDK integrating real-time rendering and CV capabilities for global TikTok products using C++, Go, and Lua. Designed a Go-based microservice using Kitex RPC and Thrift IDL for cloud-based AR rendering on MP4/image assets. Optimized GPU/RAM utilization for AR filters by ~40 MB per instance, significantly improving runtime efficiency on mobile devices. Implemented critical security layers in embedded Lua and JavaScript engines to prevent unauthorized file access within user-generated filters. Audited C++ codebase for buffer overflows and implemented security layers in embedded Lua/JS engines to ensure business integrity. Integrated AR SDK logging, monitoring, and crash recovery systems to improve reliability in Go. Provided on-call support for high-concurrency production crashes, maintaining service reliability for millions of users.

Data Plotting Web App: Supported development of a 3D plotting web application. Engineered a 3D data plotting application capable of rendering millions of data points using JavaScript and WebGL. Implemented JS-side raycasting against million-point datasets and offloaded visual feedback to GPU shaders for real-time interactivity. Consolidated vertex data into single draw calls to minimize CPU-to-GPU overhead, achieving high-frame-rate exploration of massive datasets.
