FireflyVR
FireflyVR harnesses the power of immersive technology to radically improve treatment and care for many types of behavioral health conditions.
I started on the ground floor at Firefly, using my experience at other startups to engineer “The Sanctuary”, a flexible and modular VR-based platform that helps address a variety of mental health concerns. I already had a fair bit of VR experience, which was very helpful as we developed a platform to work across a variety of VR headsets (various Pico, Oculus / Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Vive XR Elite ). I manage a few dozen builds for different clients, do HIPPA compliant data collection, and wrote many internal systems for authoring content. I am spearheading our collaboration with Monash University on Cognitive Bias Modification for alcoholism.
The bulk of our software at Firefly exists in Unity, but I also wrote jupyter notebooks in Python for data analysis and a companion app in Tauri (an Electron alternative) and Next.js.
