What I do

  • Hands-on Unity XR engineering for Quest, HoloLens, Varjo, and SteamVR.
  • Multiplayer systems, real-time networking, and physics simulation tuned for headset budgets.
  • Enterprise-grade AR/VR training, visualization, and AI-assisted workflow products.

I pair product strategy with execution, shipping the actual application, backend systems, and performance optimizations — not just design or technical proposals.

  • Enterprise XR product development
  • Multiplayer and real-time collaboration
  • Performance engineering for standalone headsets
  • Full-stack tooling, SaaS backends, and studio leadership
