About

Hi! I'm Bharath Kumar, a fourth-year Computer Science student specializing in AI and Machine Learning. I've been passionate about game development since childhood, and during college, I deepened my expertise in Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality, creating several exciting projects. I led my team to finish in the Top 1% out of 2200+ submissions at the All India XR Creator Hackathon 2024-25, a national-level competition open to startups, professionals, and students, conducted over 3 months across 3 competitive rounds. I have completed internships and freelancing jobs, and I am currently leading Unity development for a student-led XR project at my university.
