I am a passionate Senior Game Developer with over 5 years of hands-on experience crafting both AAA and AA titles across Unreal Engine, Unity, and C++. My career has given me the unique opportunity to tackle the most challenging aspects of game development, from online multiplayer infrastructure and real-time performance optimization to blockchain integration and VR/AR simulations. At Magic Media, I was a key contributor on an AAA first-person shooter, where my focus ranged from building complex gameplay systems and optimizing for performance at scale, to integrating robust multiplayer functionality using advanced C++ and the Gameplay Ability System (GAS). My collaboration with designers and artists ensured that both technical and creative visions were realized at the highest level. With Sovrun, I further diversified my expertise, leading the development of an AA title while pioneering blockchain integration for a Unity project. My server-side work included matchmaking, network replication, and backend API development—all with an eye on seamless, low-latency player experiences. Additionally, I took on mentorship roles, supporting junior developers and elevating the team’s collective output. Previously, at The VirtuLab, I engineered a highly realistic multiplayer VR rescue simulation. This project combined real-world terrain (using Cesium), Epic Online Services for connectivity, VIVOX for in-game voice, and custom VR mechanics for immersive teamwork and rescue scenarios. My work here reflects a deep understanding of networked gameplay, real-time communication, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Earlier in my career at Narsun Studios and MAIA Tech Systems, I built a diverse portfolio including MOBA, PvE battle royales, and simulation projects, often bridging the gap between gameplay and backend systems (AWS, Python, GameLift). I also have a proven record of launching indie games, such as "Sand Bullet," which I designed and released on Steam. My academic background includes a Master’s in Big Data Science and Technology (Distinction, University of Bradford, UK), where I explored AI-driven gameplay—most notably controlling characters with EEG brain signals using deep learning and Unity. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from FAST (Lahore), which grounds my approach in data-driven, scalable, and robust programming practices. Technical highlights: Advanced C++/C# gameplay, AI, and network programming Unreal Engine and Unity3D cross-platform development Multiplayer replication, online subsystems (EOS, GameLift) Blockchain integration with Unity and C++ VR/AR, simulation, and real-world geospatial mapping (Cesium) Cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), Python scripting, Perforce/Git version control I thrive in environments that challenge conventions and push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. My approach blends creativity with analytical rigor, and I’m always keen to explore new technologies, mentor teams, and help ship games that leave a lasting impact. If you’re looking for someone who combines senior-level engineering skill with a collaborative, future-focused mindset, I’d love to connect and help bring your vision to life.
