Projects

Current Work & Development

VR Escape Room (Professional)
I am working at my school's XR hub as a coding team member on a large-scale VR Escape Room experience. My recent focus has been on implementing key interactive props and UI elements. This includes writing the C# scripts for a fully functional, persistence-enabled chalkboard system (allowing players to write and erase in VR) and coding in-game UI elements for seamless interaction and integration with the main game logic.

Ultimate Chase & Survive the Course (Personal Project)
This personal project is a 3D multiplayer action game centered on a highly engaging runner-vs-chaser loop. I recently published a playable prototype, Survive the Course, on Itch.io, featuring 1v1 online matchmaking and global leaderboards. A core focus of this project has been leveraging AI development tools (Cursor, Unity MCP) to efficiently master and implement complex backend networking details through Unity Gaming Services.
