AVRAI
Months of saving places still left me struggling to choose. AVRAI began there: using context to help turn possibilities into a plan, then learning what people would change.

I turn ideas into things people can use and experience.
I’m Reis Gordon. I build software, make films, and work with immersive media. Right now, I’m building AVRAI to help people find places and experiences that fit their lives.
Selected work
A few things I’ve brought into the world.
Wolfe & The Bee
A graduate thesis film made on NYU’s LED soundstage. I led a 30-person team from concept through delivery, bringing together writing, direction, and virtual production.
Motel Sunshine
A proof piece for an episodic VR world, exploring how atmosphere, movement, and multiple perspectives can shape an immersive story.
No End For Sight
An experiment in authorship and emotional continuity through an AI-assisted image pipeline, with the story guiding the tools and the visual choices.
About
Curiosity, with something to build.
At NYU, I studied The Future of Technology with a minor in Bioethics, then earned my master’s in Virtual Production in May 2025. Those interests still meet in my work: how new tools change what we can make, and what it means to use them well.
Across software, research, and production, I like carrying an idea far enough that someone can experience it.
A decade in service work and my time coaching fencing keep that work connected to everyday life. I care about the small things technology can make easier, as much as the larger possibilities it opens.
I’m interested in thoughtful collaborators and opportunities to build useful things together. Get in touch →
