At Ford Motor Company, I have been instrumental in utilizing Unreal Engine for virtual reality development, creating tailored immersive experiences while minimizing costs associated with physical prototyping. My role involves enhancing visualization and interactivity within VR environments, providing real-time feedback that improves decision-making processes. I am committed to continuous learning and thrive in collaborative team settings, where quality work is paramount.
