Game Programmer and Designer at Fake Reality / FrostByte

March 1, 2020 - Present

Contributed to 6+ indie games using Unity, Unreal Engine 5, and Godot in agile teams of 2–5 developers. Led programming on flagship titles like ExoBarrier and Last Defence including turret systems, drone AI, and skill trees. Built and optimized core systems: gameplay, AI, level design, and UI across more than five 2D and 3D titles. Participated in Brackeys Game Jam 2021.2 with Children of Chaos ranking in the top 5% of 1,700+ entries. Iterated based on playtesting feedback and bug reports to improve player experience pre-release.

Research Assistant – Robotics Lab at Ferdowsi University

October 31, 2024 - July 17, 2025

Built a real-world driving simulation spanning over 50 km of terrain using Cesium and Unreal Engine 5 enabling high-fidelity testing for ML research. Programmed image sequence capture pipelines in C++ to support computer vision experiments and neural reconstruction tasks. Optimized the synthetic data pipeline with a custom method, improving 3D reconstruction accuracy and efficiency by 30%.

Computer Vision Intern at Veerasense

September 30, 2023 - July 17, 2025

Developed and tested AI-based image analysis pipelines for real-world industrial vision tasks. Processed datasets containing thousands of labeled images for ML model training and evaluation. Helped develop a prototype benchmarking system and completed the 5-month research task in just 3 months, exceeding expectations.

Mentor and Coordinator, Game Community at Ferdowsi University

March 31, 2023 - July 17, 2025

Supported student-led game development initiatives through mentoring, event coordination, and technical instruction. Organized and led workshops on game engines (Unity and C#), helping peers build playable projects and portfolios.
