About
I am a software engineer 'generalist' with experience in project management, full stack web development, embedded systems, AR/VR, and game & simulation development. My work spans military training simulators, stroke rehabilitation research, indie games collectively reaching 100,000+ downloads, and enterprise systems at Fortune 500 companies.
I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a M.Eng in Computer Science focusing on visual computing and graphics. I'm currently working as a researcher.
