I am a Unity 3D developer specializing in game development, C# programming, and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences. With hands-on experience in gameplay engineering, multiplayer network development, and user experience design, I create immersive and engaging interactive systems that merge technical precision with enjoyable gameplay on a professional level. I have successfully delivered multiple titles, including Melon Shooter Dimension and STAR APP (iOS/Android mobile apps), as well as NASA's Space Telescope WebbVR (Quest/Vive) to Steam delivering major ongoing updates. I've also worked with Fortune 500 company Applied Materials to deliver multiple Virtual Reality educational training experiences. My experience also spans with professional QA testing work for Bethesda Games on titles such as Elder Scrolls Legends and Wolfenstein. My experience spans the full software development lifecycle, from prototyping, coding, testing and release, ensuring polished applications that meet both user and client expectations. Collaboration is a cornerstone of my work style. I work well with cross cross-disciplinary teams, working closely with artists, designers, and engineers to bring projects from concept to release. I communicate clearly and always deliver on time, making me a reliable partner for both solo and team-driven projects in VR, gaming, educational and interactive media. Please let me know if you have any questions. I Looking forward to working with you!~

JOSH FOUNDER | 30 YEARS BUILDING AND SHIPPING SOFTWARE PRODUCTS I've founded studios, exited them, and shipped apps to both the Apple and Google app stores. Now I lead a US-based senior engineering team that directs AI agents across the full build. You get the speed. We stay accountable for what ships. This is not vibe coding. It is senior engineering judgment combined with AI execution, built for founders and operators who need to move faster without losing control of the codebase. We embed as a partner, not a vendor. Most clients stay and keep building with us as their de-facto tech team. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME Many software and AI projects fail because the wrong decisions get made early. Scope is unclear. Architecture is rushed. Costs balloon. AI-generated code looks complete but breaks under real-world use. I help clients avoid that by putting senior technical judgment at the center of the build from day one: before development begins, before costs lock in, before the wrong decisions get baked in. WE'RE PROBABLY A FIT IF YOU Have a validated need but no technical team to build what comes next Have a spreadsheet or prototype that proved the idea but won't scale Have a vibe-coded app generating MRR but need a stable foundation under it Started building but need architecture and senior oversight to finish Want to use AI without losing control of your codebase Run knowledge-heavy operations you want to automate without losing human control WHAT WE DO: TWO SERVICE LINES, ONE ENGINE Every build runs on AI agents working alongside senior engineers. That engine powers both: Agentic Software Development. We build the product your customers use: apps, web platforms, games, AI products, and AR/VR, from MVP to scale. Agentic Workflow Automation. We automate the knowledge-heavy processes your team runs on: operations, data pipelines, and document workflows, with AI agents and human-in-the-loop control. The difference is simple. One builds the product your customers use. The other builds the process your team runs on. WHAT WORKING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE Full team: senior engineers, product owner, designer, and QA. I lead. AI executes. Nothing ships without senior review. Advisory: I come in as your fractional technical leader. Same judgment, scoped to what you need. Either way, your code stays clean. Your IP stays yours. We bill for outcomes and architectural judgment, not manual hours. REAL RESULTS Delivered a $1.2M-class enterprise platform for under $95K, same deliverables, fraction of the cost Designed infrastructure that scaled through 500% traffic growth post-launch, with no added admin staff Running 79M pricing combinations in the first 30 days of live production, a lifetime of manual work Drove a 70% increase in R&D utilization through higher AI adoption Turned 20 years of institutional knowledge into a single searchable, trusted source WHAT WE'VE BUILT Maritime AI (Dolgo): voice-first RAG platform for offline expert knowledge capture Automotive SaaS (Ben's Best Price): 79M real-time pricing combinations, replaced manual ops Chemical R&D (Private): 70% increase in AI usage, faster project completion Live Broadcast AI (Pickford AI): first-of-its-kind multi-agent storytelling engine with real-time audience adaptation Nonprofit / Education (5 Keys): 20 years of institutional knowledge made searchable TECH STACK AI/ML: LLMs, RAG, vector search, multi-agent, computer vision Mobile: React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter Game/AR/VR: Unity, Unreal, ARKit, ARCore Backend: Python, Node.js, C#, Firebase, PlayFab Cloud: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Supabase, Docker, Kubernetes BEFORE YOU SPEND MORE BUDGET Send me a message first. Honest read on the risks, the gaps, and what it would actually take to ship. No pitch. No commitment. NDA first.

Lead developer for a VR arcade, a degree in computer science and frequent hack-a-thon attendee. I have worked with Unity3D for over 10 years on games and applications including virtual reality for Quest 3, Vive, Oculus, Windows MR, and HoloLens. I like to experiment with new tech and tools which gives me a lot of choices on how to design systems and solve problems.

I'm the solo developer behind Balloon Bats, a multiplayer VR game on the Meta Quest Store that ranks in the top 5% of all Quest titles by rating count. I designed, built, and shipped the full product — from concept and mechanics design through QA, publishing, and post-launch updates — using Unity/C# and a fully LLM-assisted development workflow. I hold both Unity Certified Professional and Associate Programmer credentials and studied game design and CS at USC's Games program. My technical strengths include Meta Quest SDK, XR Interaction Toolkit, multiplayer gameplay, locomotion systems, and iterative playtesting. Whether you need a VR experience prototyped quickly, a Quest app taken from concept to store submission, or an existing Unity project improved, I bring the rare combination of having actually shipped and maintained a live title on the platform.
