In the past, I have contributed to bringing some of the most "over-scoped" ideas into reality.As a resourceful, tenacious learner and professional software engineer, I excel at adapting to the challenges of a demanding project. When looking for new projects to work on, something that has stuck with me is to pursue projects outside my comfort zone. Every opportunity to encounter an unfamiliar project is an opportunity to acquire fresh experience and the means to grow as a learner.LIST OF EXPERIENCESProgramming languages:Java, C#, Python, Javascript, C++, C (3-7 years of experience)Scala, Solidity, Rust, Swift, x86 (1-3 years of experience)Some tools I have used:Unity3D, Unreal, JavaFX, OpenCV, XCode, Android Studio, iOS Mapkit, Blender, ReactJS, ThreeJS, 8th Wall, Postman, UBot, HTML & CSS, NVIDIA Digits, QT, VBScript, AWS Amplify, DynamoDB, Firebase, Photon, Figma, Miro, Notion, Pandas, NumPy, Discord API, Alpaca API, QuantConnect APIVR Experience: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Quest, Quest Pro, Valve, Google VRAR experience: Hololens, Vuzix Blade, Bose AR, NReal, Magic Leap, AR FoundationSkills:VR, AR, game design/development, AI, algorithmic trading, simulations & data visualization, object detection, robotics, database queries, interaction design, UI/UX design, code backend design, project management & leadership, consulting, mentorship, application testing, writing technical documents
