Here are the projects I want to HIGHLIGHT
GoodVibes Haptic Jacket
This senior project (turned start-up) lets you feel like you're in a front-row seat of a concert - minus the hearing damage. It also enables the deaf and hard of hearing to fully experience the wide range of music! It has been such a fantastic project to work on with a great team and phenomenal users.
Kalogon's Booster
I enjoyed my time at my first startup and learned to do so much! I was the lead for a new product line and headed its design, development, and user testing. This MedTec controller solves several issues with single-cell air floatation cushions. It monitors and adjusts internal pressure to increase circulation and prevent pressure injuries. It is now on the market helping people and saving lives!
Securing Startup Funds
Startups are always in need of funds. I had the opportunity to test my skills against the competition and created a repeatable process for future success. I worked with the CEO to develop Kalogon's company pitch for both VC groups and major pitch competitions. In this funding effort, I also worked with former Air Force generals to spearhead multiple grant-writing efforts that resulted in the company receiving $1.25M in awarded grants.
Tilt - Equilibrium for VR
We used Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) to augment the sensation of natural motion while in VR. This increased immersion while reducing nausea. By applying a low-voltage input to the inner ear (using off-the-shelf hardware) we were able to give the extra edge to virtual reality. By syncing up what people see with what they are feeling, the whole experience becomes more natural.

Cinematic Logo Render
I'm learning how to model natively in Blender which is pretty different than other CAD programs I'm used to, but it can make some pretty fantastic renders! I've also been able to make some of my own textures and nodes to create quick cinematic renders. I made the accompanying video to show my work!
