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.
