About me
Since 2016, I’ve been driven by one goal: to make technology feel immersive, intuitive, and human. As a full-stack Unity developer, I’ve spent the last nine years creating VR simulations, games, and interactive applications that teach, train, and inspire, primarily within the Technical and Vocational Training industry.
My skill set spans the entire development pipeline—from UX and visual design, to front-end C# development and Unity implementation, and robust backend systems integration (e.g., AWS, API, SQL). I thrive on bringing every layer of a project together to build polished, seamless, and effective learning experiences.
In 2024, I was honored as the Most Recognized Mentor at the MIT Reality Hackathon, where I leveraged my technical depth and collaborative mindset to help teams bring complex XR visions to life.
I am actively seeking full-time Senior Unity / XR opportunities where I can contribute deep technical expertise and creativity to build impactful immersive training and simulation solutions.

Character Creator
I developed a character creator that replicates the functionality of the Nintendo Wii Mii creator. This PC application enables users to create custom characters, selecting from a wide range of options including height, weight, voice pitch, animation style, skin color, hair, eyes, nose, hats, facial hair, accessories, top, gloves, back accessory, waist accessory, pants, and shoes. Each option can be customized with any color. The application also includes an option to randomly generate a character. Once a character is created, it is saved and appears in the character lobby, where users can view, edit, or delete previous characters. Additionally, users can perform a role call, which organizes all characters in a line. The application is available for download as an executable, and the source code is available on GitHub.

Emotional Speed Dating
Emotional Speed Dating is the outcome of a research project on human emotion detection and machine learning. I designed the study to examine emotion detection and applied it by creating a Unity/C# game that uses emotion as an input. The game simulates a speed dating event, and the objective is to find true love by empathizing with your dates (mimicking their emotions). A convolutional neural network powers the emotion detection. The study’s methods and findings can be read in full, or summarized in the poster below. Through this project, I aimed to deepen my understanding of emotion detection and machine learning applications in games.
Card Cavern
I developed Card Cavern, a roguelike card game using Unity and C#, in just under 12 weeks while juggling other projects. The goal of this project was to showcase my ability to bring a product to market within a set timeframe, and also demonstrate my knowledge of implementing monetization within applications, which is highlighted by the in-app purchases within the game. Additionally, I used this project as an opportunity to improve my art skills, as all the art in the game was created by me. One of the requirements of this project was to keep a development log which can be seen below. The game is now available on the Google Play Store and the source code can be found on GitHub.

All the way USA!
I created All the way USA!, an Augmented Reality mobile application, to increase my knowledge of the individual states of the USA. The app is built using the third-party package Vuforia, which handles the majority of the AR functionality. The app displays a 3D map of the USA on a dollar bill when the camera detects one. The user can interact with the map by scaling it with a pinching gesture and toggle different features such as state names, state abbreviations, and capital cities. By selecting a state, the user can reveal more information about the state, including its flag, seal, and a brief article about its history and statistics. Additionally, the app includes three quizzes that test the user's knowledge of the states' names, flags, and capital cities. The user earns a point for correctly identifying the corresponding landmass on the first try, and their high score is saved in the app and displayed over the testing buttons. Unfortunately, since the app was created with the free version of Vuforia, I am not able to distribute it on the Google Play store or Apple App store without purchasing a subscription, but the download link is provided for the Android APK.

It has been well received, with over 22,000 views and a 95.25% like-to-dislike ratio. The tutorial includes a final project containing all shaders and a downloadable link to support learning. For those who prefer reading, a transcript of the tutorial is also available.
Koopa's Revenge
I created Koopa's Revenge, a game for the Game Boy, with the goal of incorporating both sprites and particle effects into the game scene. The game was developed in C/C++ using Visual Studio and the NO$GBA emulator/debugger. One of the challenges of this project was the limited documentation available for GBA programming and the lack of robust debugging tools. Despite these challenges, I found the experience to be a great learning opportunity for understanding the fundamentals of hardware programming and I enjoyed the process. The NO$GBA emulator I used for this game is available at this link, and the game file can be found on the GitHub repository.
