Portfolio
Safe Sight
A all-in-one outdoor safety app built for the Spectacles by Snap. Made at MIT Reality Hack 2026. Notifies and displays info about user-reported hazards or incidents and re-routes user to avoid them. Also includes features to send videos to emergency contacts and to find nearby campus blue-light stations.
VR Display Sync
My specific role in GTXR Leadership is as the Project Lead for our VR Display Sync project. Our goal is to design, develop, and demonstrate the effectiveness of a new VR/AR interaction style, where we connect VR headsets running WebXR to an independent screen displaying another webpage, allowing people outside of VR to see a portion of the experience that VR users have.
ASL Multiplayer Racing Game Prototype
A project made as part of my undergraduate research with Prof. Thad Starner. Created a multiplayer mobile gameplay prototype for parents of deaf children to learn ASL fingerspelling in an engaging, unique format.
Magnetic Mechs
One of two VGDev games I contributed to during the Fall 2025 semester. As a programmer, I implemented several gameplay features and handled a great deal of bug fixing and code cleanup.
CHESS
Another one of two VGDev games I contributed to during the Fall 2025 semester. As a programmer, I implemented several comprehensive interactive menus and other UI improvements.
Rowing Rush
My first experience with VR development. Created an immersive VR exercise game for the Quest 2 with Unity and OpenXR, winning second place nationally at TSA.
APOLLO
A Unity 2D video game I started for school then expanded on afterwards. I made five large levels using custom and free assets, programmed unique platforming features, and wrote a story and dialogue for 100 NPCs.
TSA Quiz
A personality quiz website I made as Vice President for my school’s chapter of TSA. It asks several questions, maps out preferences and choices, and compares them to a dataset of competition events to help students navigate the confusing process of event selection.
Club Directory
One of my first ever programming projects, made for CS50’s course on Web Programming with Python and Javascript. Used Django, JavaScript, Docker, and AWS to develop and deploy a website for organization and communication for clubs and activities.
Flip or Skip
My first ever video game, made with Godot Engine. Created a 2D digital board game with custom piece interactions, unique mechanics, and a shrinking board. Reached the state level for video game design in TSA.
