About

I’m Rob Link, a creative technologist and game designer who thrives at the intersection of design, engineering, and immersive tech. I’ve designed and shipped augmented-reality and mixed-reality game experiences, authored gameplay scripts, story progression, a remote data-driven narrative system, and UI/UX for complex experiences.

I’m comfortable across the full stack—from wireframes and UI/UX to tooling, hardware testing, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. I enjoy rapid prototyping, iterative development, and turning ambitious ideas into tangible, polished experiences.
