Medical Simulation Developer building Unity surgical training applications, including an interactive appendectomy simulator.
What I'm looking for
I’m developing medical education applications and surgical simulation prototypes through Personal Projects, using Unity, C# and 3D technologies. My current work includes an interactive appendectomy simulator with instrument selection, step-by-step workflow and educational feedback.
For the XR Adhesiolysis Trainer, I completed a desktop MVP and am adapting it for XR with Unity XR Interaction Toolkit. It includes grasper and scissors interaction, intestinal manipulation, adhesion tension mechanics, visual feedback and cutting logic.
My medical simulation work draws on more than eight years of clinical experience as a General Surgeon. I performed emergency and elective abdominal and general surgery, including laparotomies and appendectomies, and gained practical knowledge of surgical anatomy, instruments and operating room workflows.
I also built Olvar: A Short Journey, a completed 2D platformer demonstrating Unity development through enemy AI, boss mechanics, dialogue and UI. I’m currently studying Web Technologies at Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences / EEK Mainor while pursuing medical software development.
