Summary
I have been working in Unity for the past 4 years on a journey that started out with a vague fascination in AR. Since then I have further explored Game Development , XR, Procedural Generation, Unity Tool Creation and Next Generation Audio Technology. I took the dive into Sound Design where I found the culmination of all my interests: Immersive Audio Design for Games and XR. I am able to provide more than just a simple Game developer, through my constant pursuit of knowledge I am confident in my ability to create fully immersive XR content
