Welcome to my personal page!
I am an XR Developer and Game Designer specializing in immersive experiences for Meta Quest devices, focusing on gaming, 3D visualization, and interactive environments. With strong expertise in Unity and C#, I build dynamic XR content that encompasses intuitive UI/UX, engaging gameplay mechanics, and efficient scene optimization for VR.
I am currently working on the VR game Hexagonia at Amaranth Interactive and exploring novel ways of controller-less interaction in virtual environments. My professional skills and interests include:
Illunae - December 2022
My capstone project for the NYU Professional Certificate Course in AR-VR Development and 3D Graphics, Illunae, involves searching for lost sounds across various realms and combining them at your base to create personalized meditative experiences.
InnoSpace - Fall 2024
Below is our submission for the Fall 2024 Meta Quest Lifetyle App Accelerator. Innospace targets to be an AI-supported, 3D Home Design & E-commerce App for individual MetaQuest headset users.
Hexagonia - Ongoing
Our flagship project at Amaranth Interactive, Hexagonia is an upcoming immersive VR game designed for up to 6 players combining hexagonal base building, a fast paced race for building tiles and dynamic MOBA-style battles.
XR Design Challenge - December 2024
(WIP) This mini-project serves as the tutorial section of my submission for the Immersive Insiders XR Design Challenge in December 2024. I demonstrate how advancements in hand-tracking technology made it possible to design engaging gameplay experiences without relying on physical controllers.
Jettamorphosis - Summer 2024
This project was completed in just a week by a two-person team for TheXPlace Unity Summer Game Jam 2024. It showcases a fully functional demonstration of anchor based, hands-only locomotion in X/Y/Z axes and use of hand gestures to trigger events (such as power-ups) within a 3d virtual environment.
Projects
I am passionate about working with like-minded developers to bring innovative ideas to life. If you are a fellow developer or creative looking for a collaborative partner, I would love to hear from you!
Let's build something amazing together! Reach out and let's start a conversation.
