Utilizing the cartesian coordinate system, I created a mini map for player navigation with markers that updated to show where interactables were. Using sector related math, I added D-pad navigation that feels intuitive to players.Took the UI designs and fully engineered their concept into a functional system for game UI features: heads up displays, in-game menus, splash and title screens, and widget animations.Integrated UX features such as key remapping, accessibility, video/audio/display settings, controller feedback, interaction prompts, and dynamic materials(VFX). Also helped refine these mechanics for a better user experience.Created debugging tools for QA to more easily and rapidly test new features: debug menus and debug heads up displays.

Recruited and assessed over 100 participants. Took them through the whole process from pre evaluation, through the studies, and into post evaluation.Designed features of a brain training game focused on improving memory using methods such as N-Back and Chunking. It is called “Recollect the Game” and is available on the Apple App Store.Using psychological tasks and research, I created a functional game from scratch to improve a person's inhibitory control (resist) and environmental control (avoid) with tasks such as Go/No-Go, stop signals, and rule switches. This game was used as the precursor study for the Apple App Store game “Poly Rules!”.Tasked to create a fully functional VR game within 48hrs emphasizing the use of mind and body. I was the lead designer and came up with a VR memory training shooter game that encouraged users to test themselves with larger memory chunks which would ultimately lead to a higher score. Our team won 2nd place out of 10.

Tutored students one on one and in groups in the subjects of Math (from basic algebra up to Calculus) and Computer Science (basic C++ and Java)Created better communication between tutors and staff in order to explore methods of tutoring that could possibly help students better understand the material by acting as a liaison for themReceived an award for being in the top 3 tutors out of 25+ for my performance in the tutorial center
