Exploring hybrid data generation to push the boundaries of YOLO vision AI—combining organic and synthetic datasets to create hyper-realistic training assets. By blending real-world footage with advanced CGI, AI-generated videos, and motion-captured Unreal Engine characters, I’m building data assets that seamlessly bridge the gap between reality and simulation. From AI-driven video-to-video enhancements to procedural variations, each step refines synthetic content to make it indistinguishable from real life, expanding the potential of AI recognition in dynamic, diverse environments.
Developing an R&D project for advanced swarm drone control and machine learning using Unreal Engine's particle systems, each with a persistent ID to enable intuitive swarm management. This setup allows easy control over large fleets or robotic armies, simulating real-time movement, coordination, and tactical adjustments in complex scenarios. Ideal for both autonomous behavior testing and human-guided operations in machine learning environments.

I am currently working as a one man development team working on Star-Troop Defense. A 90's era Sci-Fi action packed virtual reality experience. You assume the role of Pvt. Jenkins a Star Trooper who is fighting his way through the solar system and defending his home planet from an alien insect invasion. Star Troop Defense includes a campaign in which the player explores different environments to find weapons and complete different tasks needed to advance and ultimately defeat the alien invasion of his solar system.

With over 11 years of experience in interactive media and mastery of Unreal Engine, CGI, Ai, and VR. I’ve worked on AAA titles such as Valorant and Days Gone, as well as solo-developing Star Troop Defense VR and indie dev Elemental Combat VR, alongside many other unannounced projects that never made it to release. Lately my work focuses on using innovative techniques like LIDAR, camera, and sensor data to create procedurally generated 3D environments in real-time and then have my robots controlled through VR via internet connection(remote)
I’m also a co-creator of the hit YouTube show Spy Ninjas Diji-Verse a show created in a matter of months with less then 5 people . At Lucky Robots, I helped developed AI-driven robotics training environments, and award winning VR experiences with Elara Systems further highlights my ability to innovate in both VR and augmented reality. My deep expertise in Unreal Engine allows me to craft cutting-edge digital experiences that bridge the gap between AI, robotics, and storytelling.With over 11 years of experience in interactive media and mastery of Unreal Engine, CGI, Ai, and VR.
