Vetted Google drive sdk developer in the Philippines (UTC+8)

Hi. I'm a Unity developer with over 9 years of experience focused on VR and business solutions. More specifically, I've worked with eyetracked VR applications before and believe I am uniquely positioned for this role. At a previous VR solutions startup, I created one of the first, if not the first, VR eyetracking SDKs. It was developed on a prototype HTC Vive with some bits removed and Tobii Pro eyetracking glasses attached in front of the lenses. Working with a visual neuroscientist (the client), I developed algorithms to accurately project visual data from the Tobii glasses into the VR environment, trigerring interactions and collecting meaningful data (glances, fixations, saccades, etc.). Replay, training, and metrics analysis functionalities were later added to accomodate various use cases. This SDK was sold along with a kit containing the modified HTC Vive and Tobii glasses to various industries (retail, academia, medicine, etc.). Technical support was also provided to help set up effective studies and interpret results; a model that may be similar to yours. Later, Tobii acquired my client's company along with the IP. They also brought me over to their Stockholm offices as a consultant to help their teams take over development of the software. Unfortunately, I believe the SDK has since been discontinued after the release of more modern headsets with native eyetracking (not unlike the Pico headsets Virtual Vision uses) but a video of it can be found here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nYiRxTU0KA&ab\_channel=Tobii](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nYiRxTU0KA&ab_channel=Tobii) P.S. I realize that I am in a location outside of your defined parameters but this is such a great fit that I thought I'd apply anyway. I've worked freelance for 3+ years and am open to shifting my work schedule to align with my client's.

I am a seasoned solutions architect with over 10 years of experience in web-based frameworks, specifically focusing on AWS (Certified Cloud Architect - Associate)/GCP/cloud-hosted solutions and microservice development. I have a great working knowledge of systems and what tools to use for a specific goal in mind. I am passionate about open source software, automation, and backend development. I enjoy knowing how things work and can learn a programming language quickly. Having been a part of the fintech industry, I’ve led our team in architecting and constructing almost all services we use for payment terminal onboarding/provisioning. With a repository count of over 35, I believe I can immediately contribute to any backend project, from its infrastructure design up until deployment. Also, as someone who has founded 2 startups already, I know what it takes to design and produce quickly, and lead a team of junior designers/developers to deliver and own a product.
