Experience

• SEP 2022 - PRESENT VR Game Developer, i3 Simulations / MergeXR, Bangalore, India
  • Bootstrapping core tech for surgical simulations with haptics, medical image processing, Volumetric data.
  • Led the development of ENT VR Trainer in collaboration with Singapore’s group of healthcare institutions to accurately recreate the Inner Ear for Mastiodectomy VR with haptics. Research concluded with users having on average 24% improvement in surgical skills post usage of ENT simulator compared to baseline.
  • POC on depth composition of the real and virtual set with the Intel Realsense depth camera for Virtual Production in UE5.
  • Developed a tool to automate color correction for Virtual Production in UE5 using color transforms and post process materials.
  • Implemented Tutorial scenarios and Integrated user auth and subscription API for 2 UE4 VR projects. PetitVR SymGym
  • Designed & implemented a robust analytics system for Unity VR medical simulation projects for use on the Meta Quest 2, it uses a local embedded database (LiteDB) that can be queried to generate session analytics.

Personal Works

• Verlet Physics based Rope plugin for Godot - A Highly Customizable and fast implementation of rope physics that uses verlet integration, perlin noise for wind forces, gravity, air damping and primitive collisions. Has 76 stars and 10 forks on GitHub.
• Renderdoc loader in the Odin programming language - loads renderdoc.dll into a graphics application for quick graphics debugging GitHub.
• A fun reimplementation of pong in the Odin programming language - you know what pong is GitHub.
• An in development networked music visualiser made in Odin - Audio/Spectrum data is broadcasted over the local network so esp32 driven led strip can visualise it. GitHub.
• Topdown Asteroids clone in UE4 - GitHub.
• Renderer in C++ with modern OpenGl - It uses the phong lighting model with a simple material system. GitHub
• Laughamon (theme: make me laugh) - A fun turn based RPG where your objective is to make the opponent laugh. Submission for the 2024 GGJ GitHub
• Half Life 2 in Godot - Implemented some of the core mechanics like movement, weapons, pickups, ragdolls in the Godot Game Engine. here.
• Grapple System Like the one found in Titanfall 2, uses the rope plugin I developed. view here. It has since been improved to pull rigidbodies towards the player and attach onto moving platforms.
• Bhop An experiment to understand how bunnyhopping works, playable here, view demo here.
• Slice Of Light (theme: light) 2d platformer where you reclaim your lost colors by completing 7 challenging levels each to regain one color of the rainbow. Developed in 12 hours for GG GameJam 2018 at PES College where it won 3rd place, playable here.
• RecOrd Yourself (theme: rewind) 2d puzzle platformer where you can record yourself and use your recorded clone to solve puzzles. Developed for the Brackeys Gamejam 2020.2, playable here.
• The Weekend (theme: relax) A game where you play a guy who just got off work and plans to relax on the weekend. Developed for the Untitled Gamejam #41, playable here.
• Yeet n Skeet Platformer where you reach the goal while collecting coins, walljumping and avoiding a rising flood. playable here.
• Viewmodel Animations AK-47 and G3 first person animations in Blender. view here and here.
• FPS Test Projects Developed to test out Rigidbody Charecter controllers like in Half Life 2 and responsive FPS movement like in Doom: Eternal, playable hl2 and doom.
• Billing System for a Cafe - Comprised of a backend that used Golang and MongoDB, with an admin UI and user UI made with React js. It stored user orders and generated a bill on each billing cycle.
• Programmed a maze solver that reads the maze from a bitmap or plaintext file and uses Djikstra’s algorithm to solve it, then writes the path into another bitmap or plaintext file.
• Litwork A small expirience to onboard new employees to a company. GitHub
