Experience
Ghostbusters: Afterlife ScARe
I led a team of four developers and owned the technical architecture, gameplay systems, and AR interaction layer. I implemented real-time camera-based interactions, environmental tracking, and event-driven gameplay sequences designed to immerse users in the Ghostbusters universe. I also built reusable modular systems to support rapid iteration under tight marketing deadlines and coordinated closely with design, art, and stakeholders to ensure brand alignment and production stability.
Fire & Rescue
I implemented gameplay systems and interactive mechanics while working within the constraints of a live, evolving platform. I collaborated with designers and platform engineers to ensure performance targets were met on standalone VR hardware. I also maintained and extended shared systems across production updates, debugged live issues, and supported feature iteration based on user feedback.
Noggin Platform for Interactive Experiences
I implemented content pipelines that enabled consistent delivery of interactive episodes and learning activities. I built internal tools that allowed non-technical creators to configure and publish new content efficiently. I also integrated Unity builds into CI/CD workflows and maintained production stability across ongoing releases in a high-visibility consumer environment.
