What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can turn my lifelong love for gaming into creating immersive experiences. I want to join a team that values creativity, innovation, and collaboration, tackling exciting challenges like AR/VR projects or unique gameplay mechanics. My goal is to grow as a developer while contributing to projects that inspire and engage players.

I’m Ahmed Arsalan Shahid, a passionate Game Developer with over 4 years of experience in Unity3D and Unreal Engine, driven by a lifelong love for gaming. Growing up immersed in the world of video games, I was fascinated by their ability to tell stories, evoke emotions, and connect people. This fascination evolved into a career dedicated to crafting immersive experiences that capture the same magic I’ve always loved as a gamer.

My journey in game development has taken me through a variety of projects, from creating innovative augmented reality (AR) applications to developing intricate gameplay mechanics that bring unique worlds to life. I’m skilled in designing custom tools to streamline workflows and optimizing systems for performance, ensuring seamless and engaging experiences. I also have a strong grasp of collaborative development, using version control systems like Plastic SCM and BitBucket to manage projects efficiently.

For me, game development is more than a profession—it’s a way to give back to the medium that shaped my creativity and curiosity. I thrive on solving complex challenges, pushing the boundaries of technology, and working with talented teams to deliver experiences that entertain, inspire, and resonate with players around the world.
