Summary
Creative interactive developer and performer with 9 years' experience building immersive VR, AR, WebGL, and mobile experiences. Alongside my technical background, I have extensive experience in storytelling, character performance, improvisation, and running interactive narratives, developed through voice acting, background acting work, and regularly running Dungeons & Dragons campaigns as a Dungeon Master. I thrive in environments where creativity, communication, and audience engagement are central. I enjoy performing, building atmosphere, and helping people feel immersed in a shared experience.
