About

I created my first virtual environment to assist individuals with PTSD, which ignited my passion for merging psychology and technology.

With over a decade of experience in software development—primarily in XR, video games,and mobile apps—I have delivered numerous client projects and developed multiple solutions for mental health research.

Additionally, I have taught university-level courses for over ten years.

My goal is to create impactful products while sharing my expertise to help others do the same.
