Mid-level Game Developer specializing in Unity, AR/VR, and cross-platform products

Rawalpindi, Pakistan4y exp

“Exceptionally young game developer who says he began at age 10 and was employed as a Unity developer at 13. He has hands-on experience building gameplay systems, VR/Web/mobile projects, Photon multiplayer features, and AI/ML experiments—including an open-source protein-model research pipeline reportedly under peer review at PLOS ONE.”

“Project lead who restored a 1999 vintage museum robotics exhibit by inventorying and integrating legacy systems, reverse engineering original behavior, and reimplementing it in a modern codebase. Notably optimized Tesseract OCR and machine-vision pipelines to run on a 400MHz Pentium III with 256MB RAM while bringing up and tuning degraded FireWire IIDC cameras using scarce legacy documentation.”

“Unity/VR developer who shipped and published "Avatar Academy," a VR training software platform, to the Meta Quest Store. Worked on a small team where they owned most of the Unity implementation while teammates handled visuals and the backend/database/web dashboard.”

“Built and shipped an AI-powered journaling app feature that analyzes user text for emotions in real time, owning everything from React/TypeScript UX (dynamic theming + Framer Motion) to a FastAPI backend integrating Hugging Face. Has hands-on production experience deploying Dockerized services on AWS (EC2/RDS/S3/CloudWatch) with GitHub Actions CI/CD, and resolved a real latency/scaling incident by converting blocking external API calls to async with retries/timeouts.”
