Work Experience

Unity Game Developer at AE Labs Inc.
April 1, 2025 - Present
Led game UI development; designed a responsive, resolution-independent architecture that works across Mobile and WebGL—safe-area/DPI-aware layouts, scalable components, and unified touch/mouse input. Built the avatar customization system end-to-end; data-driven item catalog (ScriptableObjects by category/gender, blend shape-ready) plus Unity editor tooling (batch asset creator, duplicate detection, auto-folder defaults, one-click thumbnail capture)—cut content setup time by ~60% and enabled zero-code item additions.
Unity VR Developer at LogicalDox Inc.
November 1, 2024 - September 18, 2025
Shipped 10+ educational VR apps (Quest/Pico) across a cross-functional team—lead features end-to-end (interactive lessons, simulations, assessments) and maintain performance at target frame rates. Expanded the internal VR framework with productivity tools and reusable modules—including an AWS + UI Toolkit asset checkout tool, an automatic objective/assessment creator, interaction/UI components, and build templates—to cut setup and iteration time. Built a real-time student tracking system that lets clients monitor progress live, manage session state (join/leave/reconnect), and aggregate results across apps, with instructor controls, reliable syncing, and persistent records.
Unity VR Developer at Sensorama Lab
August 1, 2022 - September 18, 2025
Delivered 5+ VR education apps and 2 cross-platform AR apps (ARKit/ARCore) from prototype to release; built a photonics-powered VR cinema gallery for a metaverse pilot and established reusable interaction/UI patterns to speed future projects. Drove head-mounted performance on Pico 3—profiling and optimizing scenes to a stable 60 fps (LOD, batching, shader simplification)—and authored a GPU-friendly blur effect; quickly became the go-to for performance fixes on the team.
Unity AR Developer at Wilke Experience
August 1, 2021 - September 18, 2025
Built an AR app MVP from concept to demo—leading prototyping, scene architecture, and feature implementation; the project later secured government funding. Implemented core interaction systems: pathfinding and behavior state machines for dynamic objects, plus a Lip Sync-based audio-to-animation pipeline for natural character dialogue.
