I’m a software engineer who loves building robust, scalable experiences across AR/VR, games, and interactive software. Over the past decade I’ve shipped features for Unity-based projects, hardware integrations, and large SDKs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn ideas into reliable systems. I enjoy mentoring teammates, prototyping new tooling, and exploring the intersection of software with hardware to create compelling user experiences. When I’m not coding, I’m tinkering with new tools, contributing to open projects, and staying curious about how technology can empower people to create more efficiently and creatively.…I’m a software engineer who loves building robust, scalable experiences across AR/VR, games, and interactive software.
