ABOUT ME

A software engineer with a passion for rapid prototyping and building interactive experiences.

My background in Unity, .NET, and full-stack development allows me to connect software with hardware and AI concepts. I enjoy building proof-of-concept systems—from immersive XR solutions to applied AI and machine learning—with a focus on turning creative ideas into functional, working prototypes.

I've led development of cross-platform applications, engineered full-stack proof-of-concept systems, and integrated complex systems for multiplayer, geospatial data, and real-world XR experiences. My work spans rapid prototyping, scalable cloud architecture, and hardware/software integration.
