Redmond, Wa, Us

Developing user interaction systems, application logic, and optimizing performance for a retail focused, headset based, AR contextual assistant utility.Working closely with art and design on performant HCI prototypes for HoloLens 2, Magic Leap 2, Quest 3, and Apple Vision Pro.Spearheading and currently primarily responsible for major features central to the core functionality of the application. My features were specifically remarked upon as especially well done by the (fortune 1) CEO.

San Francisco, California, Us

Developed an application for HoloLens 1 & 2, ARCore/ARKit, and desktop/UWP to facilitate easy, AR based communication for business support and training.Worked with VisionLib, WebRTC, and the MRTK to enable video streaming, 3D model viewing/optimization/synchronization, and data storage/transmission. I was the person responsible for the integration and maintenance of VisionLib support for image and model tracking in the Worklink application.

Belmont, Ca, Us

Developed visualization, design, and interactive experience applications for AR and VR devices with the California Virtual Engineering Lab.Combined virtual objects and concepts with real world mock ups and prototypes with interactive multiuser experiences. Worked with other teams in the Volkswagen Electronic Research Lab and Future Center California to improve design and visualization processes. Researched and explored new technologies, devices, and software techniques including raytracing in VR; combined handtracking with motion controllers, trackers, and steering wheels among others; and creating seamless and performant ways to interact with existing design prototypes, engineering models, and showcase designs.

Renton, Washington, Us

Worked on many different multi-platform Unity applications with C# for the HoloLens, Windows MR virtual reality devices, standalone VR, Smartphone AR, and desktop.Worked with anchoring systems, multi-user shared experiences (local and remote), spatial mapping, 3D model optimization and loading, dynamic map data systems, various advanced interaction systems, image and model tracking, shader logic, and WebRTC communication.Projects included an AR virtual tourism app, a 3D multi-person virtual apartment viewing app, and an AR multi-user tennis coaching program.

During my duration at Anybots I contributed to code for a servo controlled laser pointer, Android App, and Serial Servo controller. I also learned the programming language Python from online resources and previous knowledge of Java.
