I'm an XR designer, game developer and creative technologist specializing in immersive experiences that blur the line between digital and physical worlds. I’ve completed a graduate degree in Information Technology spec. Gaming, AR and VR at Algoma University, with hands-on experience building games and experiences for Console, VR, MR, and real-time 3D.
I design virtual worlds that aren’t just seen, they’re felt. From high-intensity VR sports simulations to psychological experiences where motion itself is a mechanic, I love exploring how space, sound, interaction, and story come together in immersive design.
Real-time 3D environments (Unreal Engine, Unity, Twinmotion, Spatial.io)
Performance-aware design for Oculus/Meta Quest & WebXR
Collaborative prototyping with cross-functional teams
I’ve built projects ranging from Olympic VR games to ambient tension-based simulations to confidential Spatial.io experiences; all with an eye toward emotion, interaction, and impact.
If you're building something in XR, immersive media, or creative tech, let's connect. I’m always up for pushing boundaries, one headset at a time!
In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, going to the gym, and exploring restaurants & cafes around Toronto.
Spearheaded the end-to-end creation of an interactive 3D/XR environment in Spatial.io for a confidential institution, translating their vision into an immersive and navigable virtual space.
Designed and implemented real-time interaction logic for objects and exhibits, enabling users to engage with the environment in meaningful ways that drive spatial storytelling. - Built modular architectural layouts and user flow systems, ensuring the virtual space was intuitive to navigate and could be easily scaled or modified for future updates.
Managed the complete 3D asset pipeline, from integrating models and textures to optimizing them for the WebXR platform, ensuring smooth performance across desktop and standalone VR headsets.
Collaborated daily in a cross-functional team of artists, designers, and stakeholders, participating in agile sprints and feedback loops to deliver a polished and performance-optimized final product.

KPI Dashboarding for Live Operations: Built and maintained performance dashboards to provide stakeholders with actionable insights into product performance. This is identical to the process of creating live-ops dashboards to monitor a game's health, tracking KPIs like player retention, engagement, and economy balance.
Predictive Modelling and Forecasting: Developed data-driven projections based on historical user data to forecast future trends. This skill is essential for predicting player churn, forecasting content update engagement, and modelling the long-term health of an in-game economy.
Collaborated with Cross-Functional Teams: Worked with diverse teams to interpret datasets and drive iterative improvements, honing the problem-solving skills essential to game balancing and tuning technical systems.
Developed a multi-sport VR game simulating Olympic-style events with realistic physics and player interactions.
Created immersive levels, fine-tuned physics-driven gameplay (throwing, shooting, hurdling), and built stylized assets optimized for Oculus/Meta Quest performance.
