Hi, I’m Ritesh Ranjan. I finished my MSc in Game Development (Programming) from Kingston University. I’m genuinely excited about your sci-fi turn-based strategy game (Risk + Catan vibes in space) and ready to build a clean, scalable MVP. Here’s why I’m a strong fit: • Built WreckFest, a 2v2 online multiplayer vehicle combat game using Unity NetCode — full lobby-to-arena flow, core gameplay and heavy optimisation (45 to 110 FPS). • Created NanoSurge, a MARL simulation with ML-Agents, mastering stable performance, object pooling and procedural systems. • Designed complete UI suites and interactive controls (including player-controllable bots), a perfect foundation for your real-time Game Mode. I deliver clean, modular code, work independently, and communicate proactively. Happy to jump on a call and bring your vision to life!…Hi, I’m Ritesh Ranjan.

Vice-President at Placement Cell, Jagannath International Management School

February 1, 2021 - July 1, 2023

Managed recruiter outreach through the college’s official LinkedIn, identified genuine hiring leads, and coordinated next steps with the HOD. Designed and ran weekly technical assessments to strengthen core skills and tracked student progress with workshops and alumni sessions to improve motivation and readiness.

Unity Developer at NanoSurge (Self-Directed Project)

September 1, 2025 - Present

Led a Unity MARL simulation where nanobot agents learn to collaborate to locate and neutralize infections in a fast-moving bloodstream. Improved training stability by implementing pre-warmed object pooling and boundary guard recycling. Achieved 58–62 FPS with zero per-frame allocations after warm-up, preserving memory during long training runs. Trained agents with Unity ML-Agents using YAML configs and added a player-controlled bot for human-in-the-loop testing.

Lead Programmer at WreckFest (Unity Multiplayer Project)

May 1, 2025 - Present

Led a 5-person team to build a multiplayer vehicle combat game (2v2). Implemented core gameplay: vehicle controls, turret aiming/shooting, power-ups, and a sandstorm effect; built lobby-to-arena flow, menus, pause screen, and audio; balanced weapons and cooldowns; optimized arena by cleaning colliders and adding LODs to boost performance from 45 FPS to 110 FPS.

UI & Systems Developer at The Last Illumination

January 1, 2025 - Present

Designed and implemented the full in-game UI (main menu, pause, settings, death screen) and connected screens with scene transitions. Built UI logic, iterated on layout and usability, and integrated assets into Unity while resolving import/shader/texture issues.

XR/VR Prototype Developer at Endless Cruiser (Unity XR Project)

December 1, 2024 - Present

Built an endless 3D racing prototype with vehicle physics, car handling, and traffic spawning. Implemented a reinforcement-learning-based Q-table to procedurally generate traffic on an infinite road. Ported to VR and tested builds on Meta Quest 3 using OpenXR and Unity XR plugins.

Vice-President at Leadership Placement Cell, Jagannath International Management School

Built a Unity-based simulation where multiple nanobot agents learn to work together (MARL) to locate and neutralize infections in a fast-moving bloodstream environment. Resolved training instability caused by GC spikes by implementing pre-warmed object pooling and boundary leak guards to recycle drifting agents. Achieved stable performance of 58–62 FPS with zero per-frame allocations after warm-up. Trained agents using Unity ML-Agents with YAML configs and added a player-controllable bot for a human-in-the-loop experience.
