Hi I'm Waseem Shabir. I am a Video Game Programmer and a Software Developer based in Adelaide, South Australia. I specialise in Unity (C#). My most recent ventures have been in developing interactive experiences using the Microsoft Kinect and Intel RealSense. I can do skeleton tracking within Unity using the RealSense without the need for paid third party software.
I have worked on a variety of different game genres, and am experienced developing both 2D and 3D games. I can do gameplay mechanics, physics, AI, pathfinding, ability systems, quest systems, loading/saving game data and database management.
Have experience writing GLSL shaders from scratch as well as Unity's shader graph and vfx graph.
I prefer writing code however I also have experience working with visual scripting tools such as Unreal's Blueprints, Kismet, Playmaker, Behaviour Designer and Unity's own new visual scripting tools. I love new challenges and am always aiming to broaden my horizon.
I also have experience working with databases, using PHP and SQL to send and receive data from Unity. I have done work on multiplayer games and have developed software for Android.
Check out some of my projects below.
