My name is Dean Brannen, and I am an aspiring software developer with a strong passion for game development.

This role has equipped me with invaluable insights into the common challenges users face, enhancing my ability to create user-friendly software solutions.

During my internship at eXpanded eXistence, I contributed to the development of apps connected through a NoSQL database, which deepened my understanding of app functionality across various platforms, including Web, Hololense, iOS, and VisionOS. My experience as a Unity Developer further solidified my skills in creating immersive experiences, particularly in virtual reality environments.
