Projects
It's an app where students can track the bus location in realtime, did this when I was at university as I found it necessary. I used PWA React Native for a cross-platform experience, Firebase as database, Azure Cloud Function Node.js as a backend that responds to events, such as HTTP requests, and timers.
It's an MMORTS game inspired from Evony. I worked as a lead orchestrating the technical and art aspects of the game. And mostly worked on the networking, server, and database side of this game using AWS (Gamelift, Lambda, DynamoDB) as it is the challenging part for an MMO. And I love handling such tasks. Each map can handle 80K + CCU! Its clash of clans but all the bases are dumped within a single map server.
My own studio, working on a cool multiplayer word game, a mix of Boggle and Candy Crush, Except Art and Audio, everything else is handled by me as a solo dev, from writing net code, local code, and game design too! Used Playfab and Google Cloud Run for handling player data, Photon framework (Deterministic lockstep) to syncing player moves during match. Currently doing LiveOps for this game, and testing engagement with different game modes!
I and my team built this app for JIPMER hospital. This app is still being used by thousands of Doctors and Patients daily inside the premises. An Indoor navigation AR mobile application that uses RSSI WiFi fingerprinting to navigate users to the selected destination without a need for GPS, Engineered efficient navigation by implementing the A* pathfinding algorithm using C#, optimizing route calculations for dynamic indoor environments, Leveraged Firebase's real-time database and AR core. This project led me to Unity Engine, which kindled my passion for games. Though this is not a game project, this become the pivot point in my career intrest!
