- Bezier curves.
- Prototypes for drawing mirror shapes and measurements

Deployed the first Virtual Room prototype, and worked with DevOps to deploy the final product using CDNs instead of the SOP of AWS servers.
- Modified the template to support shopping and fixed an obfuscated iPhone bug.

Converted an intern’s room decorating ML prototype into a data and ML training pipeline, including AWS-hosted server-side queueing and ML processing.
