VR Dev

Beautiful Mind

After graduating from development bootcamp I found myself in Eventbright and Meetup developer circles. One of those circles was learning VR development. I decided to dive in head first! In the process learned how to make mobile games, AltSpace worlds (then VRChat worlds after AltSpace shut down), VR development, and VR publishing. In the end I made a VR app with a small group of developers.
