What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities that foster creativity and innovation in game development.

As a Lead Unity Developer at RealiaXR, I have honed my skills in game development, particularly in creating immersive language learning experiences. My team and I successfully launched a multi-award winning VR game that has been recognized for its innovation and creativity. My proficiency in C# and Unity has allowed me to lead the development of various game versions across multiple platforms, including PC, Mac, Steam Deck, and Nintendo Switch.

Throughout my career, I have consistently pushed the boundaries of game design by integrating advanced technologies such as speech recognition and user tracking APIs. My experience in agile environments has equipped me with the ability to work under tight deadlines while ensuring high-quality output. I take pride in my collaborative approach, working closely with designers and artists to bring our creative visions to life.
