About Me
Clinical experience meets medical simulation
I am a Medical Simulation Developer with over eight years of clinical experience as a General Surgeon, currently combining my medical background with software development using Unity and C#.
My surgical experience gives me a practical understanding of anatomy, surgical workflows, operating room procedures, and the challenges medical students and young surgeons face during their training. After years of performing abdominal surgery, I decided to explore how interactive applications and simulation can contribute to surgical education.
I am studying Web Technologies at the Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences / EEK Mainor while independently developing medical education applications and surgical simulation prototypes. My current focus is Medical XR, surgical simulation, and interactive medical education.
My portfolio includes a theoretical appendectomy learning application, a practical 3D appendectomy simulator, an XR Adhesiolysis Trainer with a completed desktop MVP and XR adaptation in progress, and a completed 2D platformer.
In the future, I aim to expand my knowledge of medical imaging, DICOM, surgical visualization, planning, and image-guided navigation. I am open to Medical Simulation Developer, Unity Developer, and Medical XR Developer opportunities, including remote roles and relocation.
