Unity

Unity Technologies · Present

Unity is one of the world's major game engines. I work on our cross-platform AR toolkit. I implemented the engine API in C++ on the Samsung Galaxy XR and XReal Aura headsets, and designed new C# APIs for expression tracking, image tracking, and driving realistic shaders from real-world lighting data.

Who am I?

I'm Alice, a game and engine developer currently at Unity. I also make indie games in my free time! I've been making and playing games since elementary school, although over the years I've gotten quite a bit better at both. I love that games let me combine my technical and creative skills!

I'm a Game Developer

  • Presently: Unity Technologies - Engine Developer on AR Foundation
  • Formerly: Niantic's Peridot
  • School: Georgia Tech - BS in Computer Science
  • Concentrations: Graphics Programming and Artificial Intelligence

My goal with every game is to make players smile, be it through a charming experience, compelling narrative, or ridiculous antics. That being said, I don't mind if my players cry along the way, as long as they leave thinking about the happy moments too 😊
