What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles building cross-platform XR apps, mixed-reality UIs, or edge ML solutions in collaborative teams that value open source, prototyping, and measurable user impact.

I am an open-source mixed-reality software engineer and founder with a track record building cross-platform XR applications, low-latency UIs, and custom hardware integrations. I design and implement production-ready Unity/.NET experiences, port apps across macOS, Linux and Android, and build edge computing solutions using Python and numerical libraries to enable scalable eye/face tracking.

My work has improved engagement and performance for museum and XR experiences—boosting user engagement by 20%, improving application performance by 35%, and increasing foot traffic by 50%. I collaborate with researchers and teams to deliver CI/CD-enabled deployments, prototype custom camera hardware, and integrate CMS platforms to streamline content workflows.
