About me
About me
I’m an Unreal Engine developer and immersive systems specialist with over a decade of experience in real-time 3D, motion systems, and XR.
I’ve worked with studios like Framestore, Meow Wolf, and Vita Motus to build procedural animation rigs, interactive VR environments, and live visual systems for museums, mobile platforms, and mixed reality installations.
While Unreal is my primary toolset, I’m also experienced with Unity for AR and mobile app development—especially in education, branded experiences, and fast-paced R&D environments.
