01 — About

Fullstack game engineer turned product lead

With over 14+ years in tech, I'm a Mumbai-based game developer and AI tech product manager working at the intersection of Unity, Unreal Engine, 7+ game/XR engines, and spatial computing. Currently, I lead the Unity & Unreal engineering teams at AjnaLens, shipping enterprise XR products and 2 major SDK releases for AI-powered smart glasses.

Over my career, I've delivered 40+ EdTech experiences — including serving as Technical Lead on "Go Nisha Go," "Go Bro," and "Girls' Hostel," USAID-funded games driving social impact and behavior-change storytelling across South Asia.

As an indie developer under Alphonso Studios, I've shipped 45+ published apps and games and built 10+ Micro SaaS web tools — spanning casual titles, AI platforms, and developer tools, built and maintained end to end.

My work sits across three core pillars: game & XR engineering (7+ engines, physics, gameplay architectures), product strategy & SDK releases, and technical project management (leading multi-engine engineering teams from spec to ship).
