Heath Mickelson

I’m a Unity Developer and Lead Software Engineer focused on building immersive VR/XR training and simulation experiences. I bring a strong blend of gameplay/systems thinking and practical engineering—using C# to ship and maintain features that actually run well.

At Little Arms Studios, I used the Unity Game Engine to modify the Zephyr Drone Simulator and create editor tools that make development faster. I created and maintained most of the game/simulators systemsthrough the use of C#, and I’m heavily involved with the programming of Wind/WeatherSimulation.

Before that, at Deep Attic LLC, I used Unity to create a Virtual Reality training experience with C#. I handled backend integration and maintenance involving AWS and DynamoDB, and I worked on building for Android based VR headsets—plus I’ve used Node.js and Python alongside core application work.

Earlier, as a Freelance Programmer, I programmed in the Unity Game Engine with C# and built a file organization software using C#. I also built websites with HTML, CSS, and Javascript, and I started grounding my technical foundation as a Microcomputer Specialist at Beltrami County by troubleshooting software/hardware and doing light Python programming for data backups.
