Benedict Wong Email & Phone Number

Hello, my name is Benedict Wong. I’m a game designer, an object-oriented programmer and an XR engineer.I am a engineer whose interests lie in creating and developing enjoyable experiences for all audiences. In order to do so, my goal is to develop applications where users make immersive and interactive decisions through various mechanics that push the limit of the user's device.Through my amazing journey as a programmer and engineer, I've explored a variety of programming languages. However, while I have used general-purposed programming languages such as Python or C, I find myself most comfortable utilizing object-oriented languages such as Java and C#. These OOP languages help me to create programs that are intricate in both visual and mechanical aspects, something that I am unable do freely with Python or C. Through these OOP languages, I have worked on and created programs such as VR experiences in Unity, side-scrolling games, and android applications.I've also branched out to Augmented Reality experiences through working for SFU, 3DParade and Aircards. In these positions, I've explored many different ways to approach WebXR, which is Mixed Reality located through the user's browser without the need to download or install any external programs. I mainly use AFrame as my means of development, as it is quite robust in driving the experiences that I've created for clients. Through AFrame, I've been able to create SLAM-based world tracking experiences, 3D environment experiences and filter-based experiences. Although AFrame is my main approach to development for WebXR, I also have extensive experience in ThreeJS, which help bolster the range in which AFrame's framework doesn't cover. Most recently, I've taken up Vue.js and Nuxt.js as an alternative to traditional HTML as they provide another means to approaching web development. I've also begun to experiment with Snapchat's Lens Studio and Camera Kit API as alternatives to WebXR development.My portfolio: https://linqapp.com/benedict_wong
