About
I am a software engineer with over six years of experience in XR (VR, AR, and MR) development. I specialize in building immersive, interactive applications across XR, mobile, and web platforms using Unity, Unreal Engine, C#, and modern web technologies. I possess strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
I’ve developed both B2B and B2C applications, ranging from enterprise XR solutions to cross-platform VR and web experiences. Along the way, I’ve worked extensively on performance optimization, API development, and integrating AI systems such as GPT, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text to create more natural and engaging user interactions.
Beyond building features, I focus on improving how teams work. I’ve created internal tools, automated workflows, and contributed to CI/CD pipelines to streamline development and increase efficiency. I also enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and helping teams deliver high-quality, scalable products.
I’m driven by curiosity and a constant desire to learn—whether that’s experimenting with WebGPU, exploring new XR capabilities, or pushing the boundaries of what interactive experiences can be.
In my spare time, you’ll usually find me building personal projects, tinkering with new tech, powerlifting, or gaming.
