Satyam Kumar

About

Unity VR developer who improved engagement on a space-exploration KIDS VR title by tackling motion discomfort and unclear interaction flow—refactoring XR locomotion, rebuilding onboarding with a state machine, and optimizing rendering to sustain 72+ FPS on standalone headsets. Also brings Photon Fusion multiplayer experience with server-authoritative design, client-side prediction, and rollback-safe deterministic gameplay, plus strong cross-functional iteration with designers and artists.
