XR Developer & Research Assistant @ Cal Poly Pomona

• Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to develop a VR eVTOL flying simulation funded by the U.S. Air Force, leveraging Unity, XR Interaction Toolkit 2.0, and Gaia Pro to create immersive environments and enhanced simulation realism by optimizing flight physics parameters using the Silantro toolkit

• Integrated real-time physiological and neurological data collection into Unity using Biopac Ring (EDA, ECG, PPG, skin temperature) and Emotiv headset (brainwaves) via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL), enabling enhanced user experience evaluation by visualizing metrics in VR simulation

• Achieved significant VR performance optimization for heavy environments by reducing polycounts to 155k using occlusion culling, disabling shadows, modifying rendering pipeline settings, and performing light mapping, resulting in smoother user experiences on XR headsets

• Tested and optimized the simulation for Meta Quest 2, Pro, 3, and 3s XR headsets, resolving compatibility challenges

VR/AR Lab Assistant & Technical Instructor @ Cal Poly Pomona

• Conducted 4 immersive XR workshops (2 hours each), equipping 54 students with Unity skills for VR game & app development and recruiting 20 students for the VR Lab

• Mentored and collaborated weekly with 5 teams (4 members each) on innovative XR game & app development, providing technical guidance, fostering problem-solving, and promoting best coding practices

CTO @ AllTerrX

• Created Unity 3D Simulations that portrayed our propietary guidance navigation and control system

Product Tester @ Google

• Collaborated with 12 Google employees over an 8-hour research session to test Google's GenAI LLM product, MakerSuite, providing actionable feedback
