About Me
My name is Emilio Angeles. I am a software developer mostly interested in creating XR applications and games.
I was introduced to programming in my last year in high school and decided to study game development in college because of my passion for video games. In 2019, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science: Game Design at University of California, Santa Cruz. During my time at Santa Cruz, I developed different types of games and interactive experiences. Through my collaboration with a grad student, I found I had the most excitement with augmented and virtual reality.
After school, I interned with Volkswagen Group of America, developing XR tools for different departments and teams. I also partnered with external companies to build proof of concepts, highlighting technology that could be beneficial for Volkswagen.
Aside from programming and video games, I am an avid sports fan. I played basketball throughout high school and enjoy watching and playing just about any sport.
