Co-founder, and programmer + game designer for GWG's first title, a zero-gravity cooperative puzzle platformer titled 'spaceBOUND', currently available on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. Programmed the game, designed levels, contributed art, developed trailers and promotional materials, as well as engage on social media. Managed communication with industry leaders, maintained relationships and conducted discussions with contractors and team members, ensuring deadlines were met and assets were delivered.

Building, designing, testing and coding simulation experiences, including UE4 projects that incorporate VR, networked IK models, and haptic glove interaction. Assisted in construction and development of serious games simulators running VBS3, from frame to PC hardware to software configuration. Developed solutions for integrating emerging tech with existing software. Modeled prototypes for 3D printing & implementation into final design of simulators. Projects also include Unity development, C# and C++ coding, and UI creation.

Exhibitor at Maker Faire Orlando, the projects have included:2014: Virtual racing cockpit, engineered using an aluminum framing system, a dashboard modeled in CAD and 3D printed to house a digital instrument cluster that displayed live data from a PC that ran a racing sim and outputted telemetry data over serial comms to an Arduino that processed the packets and sent signals to the digital gauges mounted above the steering wheel controller. 2015: A 3D printer that dispensed custom frosting designs on cookies based on user input on a touch screen involving a Python based GUI and a custom designed robotic workcell with a frosting-dispensing head. 2016: Real-time projection arena. Small arduino-powered RC cars on a table were controlled by attendees' smartphones that were connected to a WiFi router that redirected their browser to a touch-control interface. A short-throw projector overhead displayed a gaming environment developed in Unity featuring a soccer field and a virtual ball. Attendees drove their real RC cars into the virtual ball, and an Intel RealSense camera tracked the positions of IR LEDs on top of each vehicle to update their virtual avatar in the game to simulate hitting the soccer ball. Data collected by the camera passed from a Python script to Unity and updated the position of the vehicles. User input traveled to the PC and was outputted serially to a strip of IR LEDs that issued commands to each vehicle on the field.2017: Repurposed the cookie frosting printer to be a "block clock". An electromagnet mounted to the head of the workcell picked up numbered blocks and rearranged them to show the current time. Used a Raspberry Pi running a custom Python script to communicate over serial to an Arduino running motion control software to drive the stepper motors for all the axes.

As a computer support technician, I provided technical support on over 100 computers across the UCF campus, which involved solving time-sensitive computer issues, integrating and maintaining hardware and software functionality, updating software licenses, and resolving problems reported by users. The responsibilities extended to deploying and installing new machines and configuring their software, demonstrating proper usage of equipment and software to users, as well as setting up AV equipment for meetings and events.

Coded, tested, and evaluated a test bed to analyze the properties of shape memory polymers, which required calibrating the test bed using visual markers for multi-camera setup, designing a GUI in Matlab to capture and view data, and working with researchers from different disciplines to generate solutions. “Recovery Torque Modeling of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Shape memory Polymer Nanocomposites,” Applied Physics Letters, 103(20), 201903, (2013).
