I see technology not as an end in itself, but as a medium — the same way
paint is a medium for a muralist or celluloid for a filmmaker. The most
exciting canvas of our generation is mixed reality: the
space where digital information is woven directly into the physical world
we inhabit.
My work sits at the convergence of engineering rigor and
creative exploration. I build systems that power immersive
experiences — from real-time spatial anchors to GPU-accelerated shader
pipelines — but the question that drives me is always the same:
"How do we make a person feel something
they've never felt before?"
Whether it's an AR layer that transforms a city sidewalk into an
interactive narrative or a VR environment that teaches empathy through
embodiment, I believe the next decade of computing will be defined not
by screens, but by presence.

Engineering Background
My professional foundation was forged at two of the world's most demanding
engineering organizations. These roles sharpened my instincts around
performance, architecture, and shipping products at planetary scale — but
they also fueled the creative hunger that now drives my work in immersive
technology.

Developed an enterprise-scaled UI and backend integrations mirroring mobile-app architectural patterns (modular components, async workflows, analytics pipelines) used by iOS teams, supporting 40,000+ daily users.
Built REST, SQL, and internal API integrations optimized for high-volume data processing, achieving a 32% improvement in load performance for bulk operations.
Presented sessions at company-wide developer conference to stakeholders, highlighting future feature process/workflow changes for end users.
Integrated Adobe Analytics tracking within custom UI components to curate informative user-journey dashboards.
Utilizing AI Agents (Co-Pilot, Claude) to develop a scalable custom UX component package across any React project with a single formatted JSON file — including props, animations, and typography guides from any UX design documentation.
Led a finalist pitch-off team for an AR/VR home-buying platform with integrated virtual walkthrough tours, using AWS ECS, NeRFStudio, and React to display 3D gaussian-splat representations of house listings.
Developed custom automated scripts to mimic a variety of user interactions, analyzing system performance for iOS 16.
Implemented an automated QA process for detecting spike-defect occurrences at ~98% accuracy.
Created custom Splunk dashboards to visualize batch testing cases presented during AGILE meetings.
Curated solutions to identify issues within local iOS and third-party applications (Facebook, X, Instagram), collaborating with production support teams to deliver codebase fixes.

Spatial Design Studio — visionOS / Apple Vision Pro
// OVERVIEW
An independent studio dedicated to designing and developing immersive applications for Apple Vision Pro. Sub Spatial Studio explores the frontier of spatial computing — crafting experiences that blend digital interfaces seamlessly into physical space.
A VR application that places users inside a fully interactive virtual garage where they can learn hands-on car repair techniques. Step-by-step guided workflows walk users through real maintenance procedures — from brake pad replacements to engine diagnostics — using spatial hand tracking and 3D-annotated vehicle models.
A mobile application currently in closed iOS TestFlight beta, built under Sub Spatial Studio. Connectz explores a fresh model for how people discover, share, and stay connected — trimming the signal-to-noise ratio of modern communication into something that actually feels good to open.
