About

I'm Bharath Kumar, a Game Developer and XR Developer with several years of experience building games and immersive experiences in Unity. Passionate about game development since childhood, I have worked on multiplayer systems, XR applications, AI-driven mechanics, and gameplay programming through professional experience, freelancing, and personal projects.

​

I led my team to finish in the Top 1% out of 2,200+ submissions at the All India XR Creator Hackathon 2024-25, a 3-month national-level competition open to startups, professionals, and students. My experience spans professional game development, XR leadership, and conducting Unity workshops, with a focus on building scalable, immersive, and technically robust experiences.
