Mister Rogers' Zombiehood VR Game
A first-person VR zombie survival driving game built for the Meta 2 headset. After team members departed, I took sole ownership of the project, implementing vehicle physics, head-aimed turret combat, an interactive cockpit with rear-view camera playback, mini-map system, zombie AI, and a scripted intro cutscene.

Instructional Design using iBooks Author
A 380-page iBook co-authored with a former colleague after the language school transitioned from PCs to Apple. The school issued MacBook Pros to the teachers and iPads to students. We worked on this project for about two months, roughly 4-6 hours daily until completion, and we used the book for teaching in a flipped classroom environment.
