Hi, my name is John. I am an augmented reality software developer. I started my AR journey in 2020. It has been an amazing journey and I have got to build wonderful experiences. Today, I want to give back what I have learned so far in the Augmented Reality courses I create, and I hope I am able to help a lot more people grow faster in the AR field. Happy Learning!
