🛤️ My Development Journey
My journey into the world of creative technology began with a fascination for how VFX, 3D Animation, and the stunning graphics in games create hyper-realistic experiences in Hollywood Movies. In high school, I explored Blender, which quickly ignited my passion for 3D Digital Content—from animation and VFX to modeling. This led me to dive deeper into tools like After Effects for VFX, Premiere Pro for editing, and Unity and Unreal Engine for game design and development.
My curiosity expanded when I encountered AR/VR/MR technologies through Microsoft HoloLens, sparking a profound interest in creating immersive experiences. As I explored programming languages in college, I was captivated by the vast potential of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality technologies. This drove me to build projects that merge cutting-edge technology with creativity.
Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience across various domains, including Game Development, Seismic Modeling, Mixed Reality, Product Design, Video Editing. My journey has brought numerous challenges, from optimizing Unity multiplayer experiences to simulating complex seismic data in 3D environments.
What drives me is the excitement of solving complex problems and pushing the limits of interactive technology. Whether it's working on real-time multiplayer systems, developing immersive simulations, or exploring the intersection of development and design, I am passionate about crafting innovative solutions and continuously learning new technologies.
This journey is ongoing, and I’m thrilled to continue building projects that leave a lasting impact in the tech world. 🚀
