Scenario Planning Platform

Threat TecforU.S. Army TRADOC(through 2024)

A Unity application that lets military instructors build training scenarios on 3D terrain and publish them as coursework.

Scenario Authoring and Delivery

• Built tools for placing equipment, drawing tactics, and managing layers
• Packaged terrain and vehicles for on-demand download and built the client code that loaded them
• Built the Unity client’s data layer: scenario serialization and the API contract it used to exchange data
• Drove lesson playback from the same serialized scenario the editing tools produced
• Added a SCORM export that published finished scenarios as lessons and reported learner progress to the host learning platform

Platform Rebuild

• Rebuilt the platform’s delivery and authentication from scratch, containerizing the client and API and adding Entra ID sign-in across Windows, Android, and WebGL
• Replaced region-specific terrain with Cesium 3D Tiles, expanding the platform from fixed regions to global coverage

XR Weapon Simulator

Threat Tec

A trade-show XR demo controlled by a machined weapon replica linked to a Meta Quest headset over Bluetooth.

• Wrote the replica’s firmware, mapping its controls to the weapon’s handling cycle: unloaded with the cover open, reloaded with it closed, and ready with the charging handle set
• Defined the state the replica and the Unity app traded over Bluetooth LE, so the firing mechanism could fire only when the virtual weapon was ready
• Modeled ballistics in Unity, calculating each launch impulse from the round’s actual mass and muzzle velocity
• Started each timed run when the player closed the feed cover, and scored accuracy over volume of fire

Enterprise System Integrations

Threat Tec

Automated integrations that connect the company’s accounting and HR systems to the planning and identity platforms downstream.

Financial Reporting

• Scoped the accounting-to-planning integration with finance and the outside consultants on each system, after an earlier attempt stalled
• Automated a nightly general-ledger feed from the accounting system with no usable connector
• Served that data over an API the planning platform’s integration pulls from, so finance gets one view of every unit across three businesses
• Secured every internal hop with a managed identity instead of a password, so the external system holds only its own key

Identity and Access

• Routed every hire and role change through the HR system to directory profiles, reporting lines, and access, without IT touching an account
• Derived directory group membership from department, program, and work location, so access follows the person instead of a manual checklist
• Built a scheduled job that creates each new hire’s directory account and triggers onboarding on their first day

Internal Applications

Threat Tec

Internal web applications built to replace a vendor subscription and reopen records stranded on a legacy tenant.

Training and Compliance Platform

• Built an in-house replacement for a subscription training service that unified courses, company policies, and compliance records
• Automated course assignments from corporate directory group membership
• Turned policy acknowledgments into auditable records and reported to HR, Security, and leadership who was complete, overdue, or unassigned
• Defined the platform’s Azure infrastructure in Terraform and automated its deployments, so every environment is built the same way and scales on demand

Teams Chat Archive Viewer

• Matched each signed-in employee to their identity on the legacy tenant, so their own history opened read-only without an administrator
• Built the React front end with pagination and lazy loading to work within Microsoft Graph rate limits

TBI Companion

Elm Park LabsforWeil Institute(Michigan Medicine)

A mobile AR app that helps families understand ICU equipment and care-team roles after a traumatic brain injury.

• Built the app’s interface around clinicians’ illustrations, video, audio, and reference links
• Made an ICU explorable in AR by placing the art team’s equipment models around the user
• Distributed test builds through the Apple App Store and Google Play
• Gave families answers at their own pace to questions that might otherwise pull a nurse away from patient care

Interactive 3D Systems

Elm Park Labs

VR, AR, and real-time 3D systems designed for reuse rather than one-off scenes.

• Defined a content pipeline for models, animation, and instructional text, so one application served automotive, consumer electronics, and home exterior demos without new code
• Guided users through required steps while allowing exploration between them
• Recorded each training session and generated a report for the trainee
• Tracked which steps users replayed or abandoned, so content revisions had evidence behind them

Terrain and Asset Pipelines

Threat Tec

Content pipelines that produced the terrain and vehicles for a military planning application, packaged as Unity tools the art team ran.

• Converted elevation data, satellite imagery, and OpenStreetMap vector data into Unity terrain
• Projected those layers onto the 3D terrain so planners could read the ground like a map
• Built rigging and level-of-detail workflows to turn vehicle models into game-ready assets
• Packaged the conversions as Unity editor tools so artists ran them without a developer
• Repurposed the terrain and vehicle assets to produce footage for a separate training video contract

Scientific Visualizations

Precision Graphics(now part of Lachina Creative)

Scientific figures for college textbooks, developed from authors’ manuscripts and produced to each title’s art standards.

Art Production

• Designed the art standards for a first edition with the publisher’s developmental editor; later editions carried them forward
• Led the title’s artists, reviewing thousands of figures for consistency before delivery

Technical Production

• Learned the authors’ scientific software to reproduce published structures from their source data
• Wrote Python tools that applied title-specific art standards to imported geometry, automating figure setup for sizes, materials, and render layers
• Introduced ray tracing and multi-pass rendering at the studio, improving image quality and compositing control
• Animated instructional sequences explaining geologic processes and mechanical systems as the studio expanded into video
