    Worked as part of a small team developing and debugging software used in train engineer training programs and simulations. Worked remotely, completing weekly tasks and goals. The project I worked on was a graphical simulation of geological data. Specifically taking railroad track sheets and generating a 3D environment from it. I was responsible for making sure simulations displayed data correctly, building and maintaining databases used to generate the simulation, and implementing new features and optimizations. Codebase was largely C++ coupled with python scripts. Developed for various Linux platforms.
