Booz Allen Hamilton

Lead Technologist  /Lead Immersive Designer

Immersive XR Simulations, Training Visualizations, & Digital Twins

At Booz Allen Hamilton, I lead immersive (XR/DigitalTwin/AI) projects, coordinating multi-disciplinary teams of designers, engineers, and artists to develop breakthrough digital experiences for DoD and U.S. government clients. I oversee design tasks and guide immersive applications from conception to client delivery. Additionally, I collaborate with leadership to build partnerships and drive engagement within Booz Allen Hamilton’s Civil Immersive Studio.

Our products span VR/AR training, desktop digital twin visualizations, and mobile training applications. As Lead Designer, I oversee design implementation and review wireframes, storyboards, prototypes, and in-app features.

If I am not building/designing systems myself in Unity/Unreal Engine, I am supervising the integration and development of the project to ensure that our government clients have the best product. My focus is on ensuring seamless execution, optimizing functionality, and maintaining high standards, all to deliver the best possible user experience for our government clients. By collaborating with developers, refining workflows, and aligning technical and creative goals, I help shape immersive solutions that meet their unique needs.

Below are key projects I designed for our clients, showcasing XR innovation, technical expertise, and user-centered design. 

VA - Firearm Safe Handling VR Application

Lead Designer

Client: U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs 

Designed to demystify firearm safety and secure storage, the application exposes VHA staff to a virtual, hands-on, immersive introduction to firearms commonly owned by Veterans, relevant terminology, and methods to safely secure and store firearms. By utilizing immersive technology, the application allows VHA staff members who are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with firearms, the ability to learn and practice securing and storing methods in a safe virtual, non-threatening environment. This approach aims to foster more informed discussions and stronger support systems for Veterans. Additionally, the application supports VHA’s strategic mission and priorities, ensuring that the
needs of Veterans are effectively met.
