KUNAL VAGHANI

Design, develop, and maintain core gameplay systems using Unreal Engine 5 with C++ and Blueprints, including player movement, interaction mechanics, camera logic, UI behaviors, and gameplay state handling. Build modular components for physics-based interactions, collision handling, and animation state machines; translate design documents and prototypes into stable, reusable gameplay code. Debug logic, animation, and physics issues, optimize runtime performance, and reduce unnecessary tick usage; adapt code for multiplayer readiness. Work within Agile/Scrum processes and collaborate with designers and artists, supporting frequent iteration and playtesting.

Supported development of gameplay features in Unreal Engine and Unity using C++ and C#; implemented input handling, physics integration, and real-time updates. Assisted in custom engine work with OpenGL and Vulkan, including rendering pipelines and GLSL shaders. Debugged rendering and performance issues, performed profiling, and contributed to asset integration within Git/Agile workflows. Participated in playtesting sessions and collaborated with artists and designers to refine gameplay.
