Vetted Researchers

“Indie Unity artist/VFX generalist currently finishing a mobile card game, owning art implementation plus UI/UX and all VFX under legacy render pipeline constraints. Experienced optimizing additive/translucent particle-heavy effects for stable 60 FPS using Unity profiling tools, and has VR scripting experience including migrating gaze functionality from Meta SDK to OpenXR with AI assistance.”

“Real-time VFX artist specializing in Unity VR/mobile optimization; shipped a Doctor Strange-inspired portal effect for a standalone Meta Quest 2 project ("Projeto Multiverso UNINASSAU") using a custom vertex-offset shader and carefully managed overdraw to hit 50+ FPS. Also building sci-fi VFX (explosions, lasers, environmental effects) for an in-development game ("Star Warfare") and uses AI tools to speed iteration, debugging, and documentation.”

“Unity/Unreal developer who solo built a cross-platform Unity system for firefighters (master’s thesis) spanning Windows, HoloLens 2, and Android, integrating eye tracking, thermal imaging data streaming, and location tracking. Demonstrated practical problem-solving by working around HoloLens IO limitations via PC-based data streaming, and also built a Unity tower defense prototype with upgrades, economy, difficulty scaling, and sound design.”

“Unity/Meta Quest VR developer who has shipped three VR projects for different organizations, including an arachnophobia treatment experience for a university psychology department, a warehouse VR training project, and a children’s mental health-focused VR game. Also building a long-running personal project: a cooperative online multiplayer Metroidvania developed over ~3 years, with significant learning and refactoring around networking.”

“Built and owned an end-to-end real-time IoT telemetry backend that powers a digital twin experience on a Meta Quest headset, integrating Cisco LoRaWAN sensors and external REST data sources. Migrated from Azure Functions to a FastAPI service to overcome firewall constraints, add caching/fallback reliability, and significantly reduce operating cost while improving performance and evolvability.”

“Unity game developer who implemented a swipe-based pack-slicing minigame in "Herois da Fruta," improving responsiveness by evaluating both swipe start and end positions. Has multiplayer AR experience on "ARcade Sports" using Photon Unity Network to sync four AR devices, including coordinating AR anchors with online communication and camera/world alignment. Prefers collaborative teams and a 9-to-5 schedule; targets €17k–€20k depending on responsibilities and benefits.”

“Robotics software contributor from Binghamton University’s drone research lab who built a Dockerized, multithreaded Python control stack integrating Crazyflie firmware for low-latency, real-time coordination of multiple drones. Hands-on with telemetry/command pipelines, profiling and control-loop optimization, and wireless comms using CrazyRadio PA.”
