Core Skills
Mixed-Reality development
I have 5 years of XR development experience spanning across 6 virtual reality devices and 3 augmented reality devices. The focus of my Ph.D. was gesture inputs for augmented reality.
Python / Data Science
I am familiar with TensorFlow, NumPy, Pandas, OpenCV, and other popular Python libraries from using them to implement machine learning models, process data, perform statistical analysis, and create visualizations.
Programing
I am very comfortable working in C# and Python. I have familiarity with VB.Net and JavaScript and have completed at least one project using Java, C++, and Visual Basic.
HCI / Research
I have Ph.D. in computer science with a focus on human-computer interaction. This comes with experience designing and executing user studies, statistical analysis, literature reviews, translating findings into academic publications, and presenting my work.
Problem Solving
I am very comfortable working on difficult to solve problems, problems outside of my expertise, and ones that require research prior to answering.
Technical Communication
I enjoy communicating technical information to audiences of all backgrounds through many mediums. I have 30 different publications that range from academic journal articles to magazine articles.
