Software Engineer, Mentor and VR Researcher. Design and create software for various applications like dynamic web-based VR Tours and VR telepresence robot interfaces in Unity3D,
mentor undergraduate and graduate students, research and produce published work in various fields.
VR Tour (Desktop): Designed and created a desktop static VR tour with pre-loaded assets, 360 photos based on a real location, and a 3D generated tutorial stage.
Tools: Unity3D, 360 Camera, HTC Vive Pro, C#
VR Telepresence Robot Interface: Designed and created various iterations of a VR interface for operators using VR HMDs to immerse themselves in a remote robot’s environment
and use data gathered from the robot and issue commands using specially designed control interfaces over ROS websocket and TCP communication protocols.
Tools: Unity3D, ROS, Websocket, TCP, C#, C++, Python, HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Quest 2, Arduino
Dynamic Web-Based VR Tour: Designed and created a dynamic web-based VR tour, based on a real location with 360 photos, where the client side is a skeleton that gets populated
using data from a MySQL database and an Apache 2 server through a secure ASP.NET API, where the idea is that content managers update the content without taking down the client app for changes.
Tools: Unity3D, MySQL, ASP.NET, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WebGL, Apache 2, 360 Camera

I am a Major League Hacker!
I have attended and competed in
over 20 Hackathons since my years as an undergraduate student.
I have won multiple awards, including the grand
prize at KSU's Fashion/Tech Hackathon, placed in the top 10 and winning
Best Real World Application at OH/IO 2015,
placing in the top 10 at MHacks IV,
Top 5 and winning Best Leap Hack
at KHE 2014 and best game award in 2020, winning Best Mobile Hack at
HackCWRU 2015, and winning NASA SpaceApps in 2016, amongst many other accolades. I was also personally invited
to participate in the first annual Hack The
Planet in Mountain View, California.
President of Kent FGC!
I got into competitive fighting games and started a local fighting game club at
Kent State University called Kent Fighting Game Community during Spring of 2019. The intent was to foster
a community of like-minded people who are interested in playing fighting games
competitively and casually, and make everyone feel welcome and comfortable
no matter their background. We thankfully succeeded and continued to host events
and tournaments since then, and have fostered some of the best players in the region
in multiple fighting games, like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive, and Tekken 7,
amongst many more. We hope to continue supporting the local scene and bring these
events to many more people in the future!
I'm a Rockstar!
I started playing guitar during August of 2009, and since then
I have been in multiple bands, performed countless times as
a lead guitarist in bands in addition to playing solo shows
with me improvising over my own created backing tracks
and covering songs I like. I love performing and playing
music and somehow I want to incorporate it into what I
do for a living. Or at least keep on playing as long as I can.
