Edwards Hand Lab [Unity - Oculus]
Picture
One of the things that brought the most value to Edwards Lifesciences (internship)
Inspired by Valve Inc.’s tech demo for their touchless VR “knuckles”
Designed to demonstrate VR’s potential to assist in the expensive training process for heart valve sewing
​With enlarged, high-fidelity 3D models to helps users easily identify pieces and minimize risk to real parts

What I did:
  • Crucial lighting and rendering optimizations to bring project from "prototype" to VR-ready status
  • Implemented intuitive snapping to better users' understanding of how the heart valve pieces fit together
Wishy Washy [Unity]

Infatuated [Board Game Design]

This was one of my most difficult pieces of art, and I hope you enjoy it
It also provides one of the best looks at my game design thoughts and process

Other design docs can be found on my blog


Trousdale Racer [Phaser - JavaScript Engine]

​Won "Best Game" at the TrojanHacks 24-hour Hackathon Fall 2019

What I did
Code - worked on the front-end, bringing the code online to the website to be playable from anywhere. Improved UX to make difficulty selection more responsive and intuitive.

Game design - utilized game-system-modeling on a whiteboard as our game's rules and design evolved (detailed how components will interact)

Pitching & documentation- created pitch to show how project was formulated, steps taken to complete it, and how it reached finished state

Back-end - tweaked mechanics (time limit, speed debuffs), debugged ("Game over" now displaying correctly) implemented UX of difficulty selection ("6:00/12:00" disappears when opposite is clicked)
