I would like to provide some updates to this website!

As of the end of August, I have been appointed as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston - Downtown! I attended this school for a year and plan to use this as an opportunity to give back to the the institution that rejuvinated my studies in Computer Science

Furthermore, I surpassed the 100 jump mark in my skydiving journey back in June. Over the past year, I've competed four times and paid off a few drink fines due to landing in spots I shouldn't have. The competition formats were 3-way speed stars and formation sequences. 

I've made progress on my video game and had informational interviews with members of the game development community.

I have to admit that the PhD is HARD. Not by content, not by the material, but by the waiting and overall sense of an 'identity' issue within the program. Not that anyone but myself is to blame when it comes to not performing the way I think I should.

I made a bunch of changes near the end of 2024. Some highlights from that though, are entering a pitch competition for a VR business and getting humbled, as well as seeing my first publication with the use of VR to help elementary school teachers build their classrooms. 

Even funnier though, is that the research was featured in a UH Moment! I giggle since it's something that students, parents, or anyone dealing with the University's phone lines would have to listen to while they're on hold. Hearing "THIS, IS A UH MOMENT" isn't as appealing as it sounds when you're waiting to deal with financial aid, enrollment issues, or your parking ticket.
