Summary
Amber Elferink is a software developer with 8 years of experience specializing in VR, haptics, and telerobotics, currently building wearable haptic systems at SenseGlove. She combines robotics and game-tech training (Master’s in Robotics and Game & Media Technology) with hands-on firmware, C++, C#, Unity and hardware prototyping to bridge low-latency device communication and immersive interaction design. Her master’s thesis and internships focused on VR locomotion and centering solutions for VR shoes, and she has shipped joystick/button hardware and integrated it into commercial VR software. Comfortable across the stack from embedded firmware to Unity user studies, she brings both rigorous academic research and practical product delivery experience. A background in chemistry and early research internships gives her an uncommon experimental mindset for hardware-software integration and user-centered testing.
