Work experience

Freelance at none, Sep 2025 - Aug 2026 · 1 yr, working on an R&D project where we built a fully offline VR-based Earth visualization system for defence use cases. We used Caesium and OSG Earth Tileset integrated it into Unreal Engine to create an immersive VR experience. The system runs on Meta Quest 3 and allows users to explore 3D terrain with elevation data, measure distances, and interact with defence assets like vehicles and environment VR walkthrough added with COLAB sessions. The key challenge was handling large GIS datasets offline and still maintaining real-time performance in VR using PC VR, which we solved through optimized data streaming and rendering techniques.

Sr. Technical Engineer at Volvo Group, Sep 2022 - Aug 2025 · 3 yrs, • Truck Simulation: Developed a real-time Truck Simulator using Unreal Engine, incorporating a Steering Wheel Controller and Head Mounted Display with 3 Monitors using Nvidia Mosaic. • HIL: implemented prototyping for HIL integration of PLC Variable signals for real-time signal verification and validation, visualizing Renault Truck from Unreal Engine packed exe.
