About

Hi there! I’m Afif Zughayer, a software and game development enthusiast who loves turning ideas into interactive experiences. I blend programming, AR/VR, and 3D art to create engaging projects, from XR apps to hands-on workshops. I’m driven by collaborative problem-solving and a passion for teaching others what I learn along the way.

I’ve led and organized student activities as President of the Games Development Club at the American University of Sharjah, built and shipped UX-focused AR/VR features, and mentored teams across events and courses. I’m excited to bring creativity, technical excellence, and team leadership to new challenges in gaming, immersive media, and interactive design.
