Seven years of C++, Blueprints, GAS, AI, and multiplayer from Lahore. Currently leading engineering at SwiftNine. Open to studio roles in Germany and Japan, and freelance contracts worldwide.
Performance OptimizationSenior Unreal Engine Developer on an anime-stylized action title that hit the Tokyo Game Show 2024 floor and released on Steam. Owned ten gameplay systems, locked the TGS demo at 60 FPS on mid-range PC hardware, cut frame-time hitches by 98%, and reduced level-transition load times by 40%.
Pixel StreamingCo-engineered the TRESemmé TRESverse, the first beauty-industry metaverse experience in Pakistan, on UE 5.0. Browser-based pixel streaming via Eagle 3D Streaming on AWS. Launched November 10, 2022 to coverage in BeautyMatter, IGN Pakistan, Happi, Retail Tech Innovation Hub, and parlayme.
Multiplayer ReplicationBuilt the multiplayer replication foundations for Valayt, Exarta's metaverse city, during the first engagement. Came back at Senior level to scale concurrent player capacity from 10 to 40 by fixing replication topology, switching to server-authoritative validation against an AWS GameLift dedicated server fleet, and tightening scene density to hold 60fps.
AI IntegrationReal-time AI sales assistant in an AR retail tech demo on UE 5.3. Llama 2, NVIDIA Riva, and NVIDIA Audio2Face streamed over WebSocket and Live Link. Under-2-second conversational latency, built before NVIDIA's official ACE plugin shipped.
Engineering leadership
I write the Blueprint coding standards. I set the per-device draw call budgets. I run the hiring rubrics and the code reviews. The work I do is the work nobody sees until it ships, which is the work that makes everything else possible.
More about me
The full range of UE5 disciplines, sharpened over seven years across six studios. These are categories I have shipped to production, not buzzwords on a resume.
Why hire me
Three things that hold across studio engineering roles, mid-sized contracts, and senior-engineer mentoring. Each backed by shipped work.
C++ exposed to Blueprint, GAS, replication graph, behavior trees, Niagara, Lumen, Nanite. Mobile performance discipline trained from indie. I read the codebase before I touch it.
Currently leading engineering at SwiftNine. I write the coding standards, set the hiring rubrics, run the code reviews, and document the architecture so the next developer is not stuck in tribal knowledge.
Ten projects across six studios. A Steam release. A Tokyo Game Show 2024 anime title where I owned the gameplay layer. Six UEFN titles. NVIDIA Omniverse integrations. Production, not demos.
