Engine, gameplay and build-size work across three projects in Unreal Engine and C++.
Challenge. The APK was too large to upload to the Play Store, and load times were long.
Insight. PUBG Mobile ships multi-gigabyte maps from an APK of around 83 MB, so its content had to be downloaded on demand. I set out to do the same.
Personal projects
C++ on Vulkan, OpenGL and the PS5 graphics API, using focused libraries such as GLM, EnTT, GLFW and Assimp rather than a commercial engine. Some began as MSc coursework at Newcastle University.
A C++20 game engine with a hand-written Vulkan 1.3 renderer.
Built from scratch as the foundation for rendering an Interstellar-style wormhole and skybox.
A top-down game with its own rendering pipeline for PlayStation 5 and Windows.
A physically based, deferred rendering pipeline written from scratch.
A real-time stylized scene with GPU instancing, culling and cel shading.
About
I started in Unity, freelancing for clients while still at college, then moved to Unreal Engine and C++ at Pole To Win, building engine modules and mentoring engineers new to Unreal.
After an MSc in Computer Games Engineering with Distinction, I brought Unreal Engine 5 rendering to Apple Vision Pro at Tencent. I now build optimization tooling at Samsung, and spend my own time on a Vulkan engine.
Recommendation
“He quickly became a core part of the development team. He took on multiple responsibilities on the project including on-boarding and mentoring multiple engineers and TechArtists who were unfamiliar with working on Unreal Engine.”
Read the full recommendation
I had the good fortune of working with Pranav for about 2.5 years as his Manager at PTW. He joined as a Junior Unity developer but when presented with an opportunity to learn and work with Unreal Engine, he took it and put in the hard work to learn it with very little guidance. He successfully delivered the trial solo game that he worked on with Unreal and the game looked and played fantastic. Based on the high quality of the game, he was put on a multiplayer mobile game using Unreal and C++ and he quickly became a core part of the development team. He took on multiple responsibilities on the project including on-boarding and mentoring multiple engineers and TechArtists who were unfamiliar with working on Unreal Engine. Because of his friendly demeanour, patience, and willingness to help out, many team members felt quite comfortable approaching him for any kind of technical issues and he helped them the best way he could.
He left us to pursue higher studies in Game development, with the help of which, I have no doubt that he will become an even better game developer. He possesses very good written and spoken communication skills and is always very professional in his conduct. He is a very curious person by nature and strives to understand/learn new things constantly. I definitely recommend him for any Game Developer position.
