Unity Game Developer

Today

I'm a Unity Game Developer at Little Learning Lab in Chennai, where I build and ship educational and speech-therapy games for Android and iOS, including Speakaroo (10,000+ downloads), Writearoo, and Social Adventures. I handle the full production cycle: C# gameplay systems, UI/UX, 60 FPS mobile optimization, on-device AI integration, and store releases.

Background

After earning my B.E. in Mechanical & Automation Engineering, I completed my MCA in Game Development at Jain University (Bengaluru). Alongside commercial Unity titles and game jams like GMTK 2026 (where Word Dropper ranked #309 in Enjoyment out of 10,500+ entries), I build Python automation scripts, AI web apps (ViralScript AI), and Flutter field apps (GenQuote with Supabase, BuildCalc with local SQLite).

My four pillars

Gameplay
& Systems

I build modular C# gameplay systems using ScriptableObjects, state machines, custom physics, and game AI, from Minimax with Alpha-Beta pruning in Chess to NavMesh enemies in HDRP 3D platformers and beat-synced rhythm games.

Unity 2D/3DC#ScriptableObjectsNavMesh & Minimax AICinemachine

Mobile
& Store Ops

I ship and maintain commercial mobile titles on Google Play and the Apple App Store. I profile CPU/GPU frame pacing for 60 FPS on budget devices, manage AssetBundles, resolve native Android/iOS dependencies with EDM4U, and integrate Firebase, Unity IAP, and AdMob.

Android & iOSUI Toolkit60 FPS ProfilingFirebase & IAP10K+ Installs

On-Device
& Gen AI

I put user-facing AI directly into shipped games. In Speakaroo, I run Whisper.cpp on-device for real-time pronunciation feedback and Azure AI Foundry in the cloud for speech scoring, alongside local Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI pipelines on an RTX 3060 for fast asset iteration.

Whisper.cppAzure AI FoundryStable DiffusionComfyUI

Cross-Platform
Builder

Outside Unity, I build practical mobile and web tools: Flutter apps for electrical load quoting (GenQuote with Supabase) and construction/framing calculations (BuildCalc with SQLite), an AI script generator on Vercel (ViralScript AI), and Python automation scripts.

02 / How I work

Fast execution.
Human direction.

Build, observe, decide: three scenes explaining how my AI-assisted workflow operates.

AI-Assisted Workflow

Agents execute.
Human architecture.

Follow the workflow

01 / Build and review

Define the scope. Review the code.

No blind code generation. First, I define the problem, Unity architecture, and frame constraints; then agents (Claude Code and Antigravity) explore the codebase, compare approaches, implement C# or Flutter systems, and run tests. Automated hooks trigger validation checks, skills enforce project criteria, and 6 reviewer passes inspect every pull request before I verify the build on device and decide what ships to production.

Claude Code & AntigravitySkills & Hooks6-Agent PR ReviewDevice Verification

02 / Observe and propose

Evidence. Choices.

Across my shipped games and apps, four live sources observe product health — Unity telemetry, Whisper speech logs, Claude diagnostics, and GitHub. Eight specialized agent profiles monitor crash rates, frame budgets, pronunciation latency, and store feedback: each agent gathers evidence, detects incidents or opportunities, and submits an attributed proposal into the P1–P3 queue that I assess and prioritize.

4 Telemetry Sources8 Agent ProfilesAttributed ProposalsP1–P3 Priority Queue

03 / Execute within limits

Two paths. Explicit approval.

Bounded, repetitive, and reversible tasks — such as ComfyUI batch asset processing, sprite trimming, and automated test runs — execute automatically through the AUTO lane. Sensitive actions — such as store builds, schema migrations, and release merges — wait at the gate for my explicit approval. Execution runs in a separate worker with one credential per domain, and every action is recorded in the audit log.
