Director-level VR Game Programmer specializing in Unity and QA leadership

Austin, TX15y exp

“Unity/VR gameplay engineer who has shipped full games and built a robust coin economy + massive gear customization system (over a million combinations) backed by a cloud service. Notably discovered and fixed a severe backend security flaw by adding proper authentication (security key + OAuth2), and has hands-on VR performance optimization experience (OVR Metrics, LOD/mipmaps, imposters) plus multiplayer sports sync design using Photon PUN2.”

“Unity/C# game developer who served as CEO and lead developer on the Unity 2D pixel RPG "Rum Runner's Revenge," owning technical direction, modular architecture, and core gameplay systems; the project earned a TIGA award nomination. Also shipped a commercial Unreal Engine title and built an adaptive difficulty system using player performance metrics, leveraging AI tools for rapid prototyping and debugging.”

“Unity developer with hands-on Meta Quest mixed reality experience, building an AI-companion app with a real-time 3D avatar and local LLM backend using Whisper + GPT-SoVITS for STT/TTS. Also the primary programmer behind a Steam-published peer-to-peer co-op horror game built in Unity with Mirror networking.”

Senior Gameplay Engineer specializing in Unity/Unreal AR/VR experiences

Victoria, Canada20y exp

“Unity/C# engineer who owned an end-to-end real-time 3D product configurator at PictureThis3D, emphasizing modular data-driven architecture for performance and stability (including improved model download time and faster content updates). Also implemented on-device LLM/voice-command processing using small local models (e.g., Qwen 3.5 0.8B) and shipped Photon multiplayer systems with robust match-start/state handling.”

“AI/back-end engineer at Canon who helped build and operate an internal production LLM platform that acts as a secure middle layer between users and models, defending against jailbreaks/prompt injection while enabling RAG, memory, and grounded responses over company data. Experienced with LangChain/LangGraph orchestration, vector DB retrieval, and reliability practices (testing, monitoring, adversarial prompts) to run high-throughput, low-latency AI workflows in production.”

Junior Robotics & Controls Engineer specializing in SLAM and multi-robot systems

Santa Clara, CA3y exp

“Robotics software engineer with deep ROS/ROS 2 experience spanning both simulation and real hardware. Led a Master’s thesis building a decentralized multi-robot control stack in ROS 2 (Isaac Sim + Nova Carter), implementing nonlinear MPC (casADI) and RRT* planning with SLAM/3D LiDAR, and tackled tricky frame-convention integration issues. Previously built an autonomous quadruped for first responders (PACRR), integrating LiDAR/RGB-D/IMU sensors and tuning navigation behavior through iterative field testing.”

“Lead Unity developer who shipped two public-facing VR projects (Aberwla full release and Cognetic demo) end-to-end to the Meta Quest Store at Animated Technologies, including optimization and VRC compliance. Currently building solo first-person horror/ghost-hunting projects and aiming to ship a small-scope atmospheric title to Steam to broaden platform shipping experience.”

“IT Analyst/research background with hands-on experience deploying and hardening a multi-agent AI support/triage system (ticket ingestion + knowledge-base retrieval) with strong emphasis on reliability and observability. Has debugged real production issues spanning backend services and network latency (sync failures/partial writes) and is comfortable in Linux environments; also has academic exposure to robotics simulation and ROS2.”
