About

I’m Firas Ferjen, a Unity and VR/XR developer with 7+ years of experience building immersive 3D gameplay, interaction systems, and performance-focused experiences for platforms like Meta Quest. I enjoy turning designs into responsive mechanics—whether it’s controller and hand tracking, haptics, locomotion, or fully integrated gameplay loops.

Across my roles, I’ve led development for VR training and interactive demos, built gameplay systems like state machines, AI behavior, aiming/trajectory logic, and procedural animation/IK, and also created backend-supported gameplay features using Node.js, Firebase, Google Cloud, and realtime services. I bring a strong blend of gameplay engineering, tooling (custom Unity editor tools, Git workflows), and optimization to deliver smooth, reliable experiences end to end.
