IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Virtual Reality Developer and Software Engineer focused on creating immersive VR experiences that improve user engagement and knowledge retention. At ModeliCon InfoTech, I collaborated with partners including IISc, the Ministry of Education, and Samriddhi to design and develop VR training experiences using Cardboard XR and Unity, boosting engagement by 25% with improved VR UI/UX.

Previously at Sunlux Technovations, I delivered PCVR training for naval officers with OpenXR compatibility and achieved a 99% bug-free rate, and at NIT Karnataka I led a team of 5 and mentored 30 students to develop and deploy Unreal Engine VR projects that increased user retention by 30%.
