About
Unity developer with hands-on experience adapting an AR game from PC/mobile to legacy Vuzix smart glasses, focusing on UI/UX redesign and rigorous usability testing (recordings, interaction metrics, Likert surveys) to preserve game feel on constrained hardware. Brings a cross-functional, inventive mindset—e.g., proposing an art-department-driven approach to generate training data for a computer vision defect-detection effort.
