Starting in 2021 I co-founded 0NCH41N Games, a game development company focused on multiplayer Web3 games. Initially we focused on creating a Yield Aggregation system HellHound.dog that utilized a unique reflection system to maximize long-term yield. In 2023 we launched LLCGame.io, a real-time multiplayer browser game with a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. After the beta test I helped secure over $20,000 in grant funding from Arbitrum, Findora, and Lootchain to fund further development and marketing. In addition to being responsible for the game development, I have also represented the company in several social media interviews with major industry players such as Polygon and Arbitrum. We recently partnered with the genAI startup Scenario and are working to integrate generative AI into our games, with a focus on user-generated content and moddalibity.
During the summer of 2023, I worked as a Software Engineering Intern for
VarietySplash Productions
While there, I lead an international team of developers working on various applications to assist in the creation of digital media.
I was first tasked with working on a web scraper that would allow the content creators to easily find and use media from the internet.
In this role, I worked closely with the content creation team, tweaking the application to fit their needs and making sure it was user-friendly and performant.
After finishing the scraping application ahead of schedule I was asked to manage a 3 person team working on a crime mapping app for IOS and Andriod.
In working on this, I made a comprehensive plan for the app's development, designed the architecture, and worked with the UI/UX team to make sure the app was user-friendly and intuitive.
During the Summer of 2020, I joined the Mixed Reality Laboratory at the
University of Illinois, Chicago,
an organization dedicated to bringing virtual and augmented reality to the field of medicine.
I worked on a virtual reality (VR) based device called CathSym aimed at
bringing 3D visualization and haptic feedback to catheterization
training. I developed solutions within the Unity development engine and learned C# to controll the
scripting API.
I was mainly focused on incorporating optimal UI characteristics, and towards this end I interviewed
medical professionals and design researchers.
My most significant contribution to the project was redesigning the visual simulation of the catheter
within the graphics interface, which made
over a 40% in the resource costs usage listed in the Unity profiler.

Created, developed, and launched 14 different browser games including Shotwars.io, Glork.io, and MineParkour.club generating over $15,000 in total revenue.
Utilized HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js to create the games incorperating a custom-built webgame engine that used p2 physics, the HTML5 Canvas API and WebSockets for multiplayer functionality. For the 3D games, I used the Three.js library combined with a custom physics engine designed specifically for capsule physics on a convex surface
Received sponsorship from AddictingGames.com and partnered with several large portals such as Iogames.space, Crazygames, GameDistribution and Titotu to reach 3 million total plays.

I co-designed a proprietary medicine transport airship drone to cost-effecticely address supply
chain issues, including last-mile locations (difficult-to-reach delivery sites) and cold-chain
transport (handling of temperature-sensitive medicine)
in underserved/impoverished areas.
BlimpServe addresses last-mile location challenges by avioiding
costly infrastructure including roads or airports.
Lightweight solar panels were implemented to take advantage of airships' large surface area and
direct view of the sun, improving efficiency and range.
Cold-chain transport challenges are tackled by harnessing low ambient temperatures at high
altitudes and abundant solar energy.
A 10-DOF flight controller and vectored thrust propeller were used to control BlimpServe.
The most significant techical achievement was the flight-path charting program. The A* algorithm
was used with NOAA wind current data, and path-smoothing was done via gradient descent.
Web implementation coming soon!
I developed a high-performance rocket flight simulator for multi-stage, clustered, and air-launched model rocket incorperating data from thrustcurve.org and simulating the rocket's flight using the Euler-Cromer method.
Rocket.js approximates complex rocket physics using a discrete time-step approach, where the user can specify the time-step size to trade-off between accuracy and performance.
It supports several common model rocket engines out of the box and can be extended to support any possible thrust curve. The initial use case of this project was to aid in the design of a balloon-launched rocket , which was successfully launched in 2020.
It was validated against real-world model rocket flights and was found to have an average error of less than 5%.
I co-designed an augmented smartphone case using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to improve
the smartphone experience and democratize long-range communication.
The Infinity enables by free communication by connecting your
mobile device with the LoRaWAN low-power wide area network (LPWAN) via Bluetooth Low-Energy.
Additionally, lost phones that have lost power can be geolocated by aggregating
last-collected GPS data from the phone with Infinity's own LPWAN
triangulation and 6-DOF sensor data.
Finally, extremely low-power components/technologies are used, and the case passively charges via
NFC,
so you never need to worry about running out of power.
