I'm Jafar Hamad, a Mixed Reality Developer based in Pisa, Italy. I hold a PhD in Augmented Reality with Haptic Feedback and specialize in Unity3D for AR/VR training, simulation, and visualization. I have international experience across Italy, Germany, and Belgium, and I've delivered applications for HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest 3, integrating haptic feedback, hand tracking, and AI-driven interaction systems using OpenCV for Unity, OpenXR, MRTK 2/3, and the Meta SDK. I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop practical solutions for surgical workflows, robotic digital twins, human–machine interfaces, and advanced training systems — focusing on usability, reliability, and real-world deployment.
