My career goals center around building a secure, high-income, and fulfilling role in software engineering, with a focus on AR/VR and interactive applications. I’m especially motivated by creating engaging single-player, story-driven, and practical experiences, where I can design the logic and features that make applications work seamlessly. I enjoy working with established engines like Unity or Unreal, and I see myself thriving in larger companies, well-funded studios, or industries such as simulation and ed-tech—environments that offer both stability and strong long-term prospects. This path allows me to combine my passion for emerging technologies with my career priorities of job security, growth, and meaningful work, ensuring a future where I am not only successful but also excited to go to work every day.
