I’m a game developer and AR enthusiast with hands-on experience in Unity3D, AR Foundation, and AI-driven gameplay systems. I focus on full-cycle game design and development, aiming to create immersive, player-first experiences.

In my Unity Developer Intern role at IBM, I co-developed a real-time, decision-based 3D aircraft evacuation simulation game, working on gameplay realism and immersion. I built AI systems using NavMesh, heatmap-based routing, panic behavior, and dynamic obstacles, and I integrated Cinemachine, 3D audio, and VFX.

I also build with a strong hands-on mindset—creating prototypes like Questify (Unity 2D, C#) and Feast and Fables (Unity 2D/C#). My work includes blending gameplay with real-world productivity, designing biomes and progression systems, and optimizing NPC behavior for smoother gameplay.

Recently, I developed an AR Portal Experience in Unity using AR Foundation, adding portal spawning, randomized red/green light cycles, and win/lose conditions with mobile AR performance in mind. I’m currently pursuing my B.Tech in CSE (Graphics & Gaming) from UPES and want to keep growing as an AR and Unity developer who ships engaging, polished game experiences.
