Kunal Vaghani

I am a Gameplay Programmer with 2.5 years of hands-on experience building gameplay systems and real-time interactive features using Unreal Engine 5, C++, and Blueprints. I design and implement player mechanics, camera systems, physics-based interactions, animation state machines, AI behavior trees, and gameplay UI to deliver responsive, production-ready experiences.

I have practical low-level graphics experience, having developed custom engines and rendering projects using OpenGL and Vulkan, implementing rendering pipelines, GLSL shaders, and performance-oriented GPU workflows. I am comfortable debugging and optimizing runtime performance, reducing unnecessary ticks, and refining memory and logic for stable frame rates.

I thrive in collaborative, Agile workflows—working with designers and artists to iterate on prototypes, participate in playtests, and maintain clean, modular, Git-based code suitable for studio environments. My background includes both contract and internship roles, supporting scalable and multiplayer-ready gameplay systems.
