Nandakumar Chedikulathu Vishnu

I am a Technical Artist with over 5 years of experience in crafting high-fidelity real-time simulations and interactive experiences using Unreal Engine. My journey has been marked by leading the development of a CES-featured immersive boat simulator, which attracted over 65,000 attendees. I thrive on fusing technical rigor with artistic storytelling, pushing the boundaries of interactive content.

At Mercury Marine, I spearheaded a real-time boat simulation project using Unreal Engine 5 for CES 2025, significantly enhancing visual realism and interactivity. My efforts led to a 40% reduction in iteration cycles by separating HMI and visualization layers, which enabled modular development. I have a proven track record of creating and executing roadmaps for XR and CG development, improving cross-divisional alignment.

Previously, at Brunswick Corporation, I directed the development of the Future Helm simulator, showcased at CES 2023 and 2024, generating $15.5M in media value. My collaborative work with design, engineering, and UX teams ensured that visuals aligned seamlessly with hardware interaction. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in shader creation, environment design, and procedural texturing to create engaging and immersive experiences.
