Pallavi Padam

“Gameplay engineer with hands-on ownership of real-time C++/UE5 systems, including an end-to-end ability system and a networked dash feature using client prediction and server reconciliation. Strong in performance profiling/optimization (object pooling, collision-check gating) and applied math for projectile motion validated via debug visualization and QA/playtesting; particularly interested in soccer/football gameplay mechanics and feel.”

“Backend/web API engineer with hands-on experience deploying .NET Core APIs to Azure App Service and stabilizing production systems through disciplined log-driven troubleshooting, environment configuration management, and SQL performance tuning (execution plans, query rewrites, indexing). Has also debugged cross-layer incidents involving DB locks and network latency, and modifies Python/XML automation scripts to meet customer-specific requirements while improving logging and performance.”

“Unity gameplay programmer focused on player movement and "game feel," implementing responsive controls (variable jump height, forgiveness mechanics) by combining Update-based input with FixedUpdate physics and velocity-driven movement. Brings client-server/REST fundamentals from outside games and is actively ramping into Unity multiplayer (Photon/Mirror-style) via small synchronization prototypes.”
