Software Engineer

Hi! 👋

I’m a senior software developer with over 8 years of experience building intuitive, interactive digital experiences — from frontend web apps to games to AR/VR tools and creative interfaces. My work spans React.js, Unity, Three.js, and real-time 3D technologies.

Currently, I work on augmented reality experiences and creative tools at TikTok’s Effect House.

Before that, I built AR games and cloud tools at YinzCam, and immersive installations at Cortina Productions.

I have a Master's in Computer Graphics from Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center 🎓

If you'd like to know more, here's my resume.
