Summary
Eric Rico is a Senior Software Development Consultant based in Columbus, Ohio, with a decade-long engineering career focused on Unity and XR solutions for enterprise and consumer platforms. He optimizes customer projects and workflows at Unity while maintaining an active indie Unity3D practice building a VR title targeting PlayStation VR and multiple PC/standalone VR platforms. His background spans AR/VR, telecom SCADA, and avionics, giving him uncommon expertise bridging real-time 3D apps, networking, and embedded systems. At American Electric Power he led cross-platform XR initiatives, architected cloud-enabled collaboration tooling, and built CI/CD and automated 3D model conversion pipelines. Comfortable from frontend art and UX to backend .NET/Node stacks, he pairs solid C# engineering and SOLID principles with hands-on 3D asset and UI skills. That blend of enterprise delivery, low-level systems experience, and indie game shipping makes him adept at turning experimental POCs into production-ready XR solutions.
