About 

 
 

I am a very enthusiastic XR developer with a deep love for technology and its potential to improve people's lives.

My journey as a developer started in 2019 by graduating from the VR Foundations and VR High Immersion Developer courses from Udacity. At this time, I founded Cybernautics. Cybernautics’ goal is to work with human augmenting technology, as well as to explore the philosophical and ethical responsibilities required in this pursuit. Under this name, I published my first app on the Oculus store, Air Hockey. At the same time, I applied to be an Oculus Start partner using Air Hockey for my submission, and two weeks later I was accepted into the program. I bought myself an Oculus Quest and also attended Oculus Connect 6 in San Jose in September.

I am studying the OpenXR landscape deeply and am expanding beyond Oculus devices in order to develop apps for the XR ecosystem as a whole.

My passion for XR development remains a constant in my life. It is not enough to experience this technology solely as an end-user or consumer. My joy is coming up with ideas and working to implement them. There is a lot of responsibility in being a software engineer in our current age, and I do not take this lightly. To this end, I have immersed myself in philosophy and ethics to ensure that I use my skills to create positive change in the world and to respect and live up to the trust they place in me when immersing themselves in the virtual experiences I create. I will continue to use this technology to explore beyond the edges of human knowledge and understanding.

The current lifestyle I am building is a balanced work-life between working short-term freelance jobs and my own projects and apps. In addition, I am producing content for YouTube and podcasting. Everything I work on will be documented and available to explore. I am looking to contribute to a decentralized ecosystem of apps and open source projects so people can develop upon anything that I create.

Goals of mine include finding the best online stores and outlets for everything I am producing. Some examples include 3D models, photograms, code samples, and completed apps. All of my work can be found on this website as well.

Interests I am pursuing include spirituality, philosophy, transhumanism, futurology, self-empowerment, education, gaming, virtual worlds, digital nomad lifestyle, entrepreneurship, and decentralization. These are a lot of interests! I will do my best to express all of them throughout my work.
