AVRAI
I’m building an intelligence system for how people and the world around them fit together. Its first application helps turn saved places and uncertain plans into decisions people can feel good about.

Technology with a human point of view.
I’m Reis Gordon. I build software, make films, and develop immersive experiences. I’m interested in what technology can help us understand, create, and find in one another.
My main focus is AVRAI: an intelligence system that began with a simple problem—knowing plenty of places to go, but still struggling to decide.
Selected work
Software, stories, and new experiences.
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 →
