About Me

I am a seasoned XR Developer at Kognitive Spark, specializing in creating immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences using Unity, HoloLens, and C#. My expertise is evident in my significant contributions to the Remote Spark application, where I designed user interfaces, optimized AR user experiences, and implemented a robust cache management system for enhanced performance. I bring a strong technical acumen, seamlessly mapping HoloLens inputs and contributing to an in-house game engine's debugging and feature development.

Portfolio

During my Master's thesis at The University of New Brunswick, I showcased my skills in Unity3D and C#, creating AR projects for Android and HoloLens. My innovative approach included implementing target assistance techniques for evaluating performance in both Mobile and Head-mounted Augmented Reality environments. In an internship focused on Spatial Data, I developed a UWP application extracting and transforming point cloud data from HoloLens, demonstrating proficiency in C#, Urho3D, and HoloLens.

With a rich professional background, including roles as Lead Developer at Ogre Head Studios and Senior Software Developer at Augray, I have spearheaded the development of game expansions, optimized tools, and integrated multilanguage support. My experience extends to Microsoft Kinect-based games, Facebook games, and MMO game development. A versatile developer, I possess a comprehensive skill set in Unity 3D, AR/VR/MR, C#, and DevOps.
