Open source projects

I love open source, you can clearly see that by looking at the collection of Stickers on the back of my laptop, or the fact that I have been using Linux Exclusively for as far as I remember.

While I wish I can share more of my work as open-source on my GitHub account, sadly I have a lot of work that is bound by NDAs or other parties that don't want to disclose there work but for everything else, you will find it on my GitHub account

Teaching

If there is something I have been doing constantly ever since I started working it would have been teaching, I started my teaching career as a teaching assistant where I taught pre-grad students some advanced topics like compiler design, and computer graphics as well as teaching intro level topics like Introduction to programming.

Later after I enter the game dev field, I shifted my effort towards teaching Game development topics for postgrad students, and some times to children, I taught for 4 years in a Government packed program targeted towards postgrads where I was their supervisor and helped them get started in the game dev field as well as helping them with their project. I later started my company by hiring the best of my students that graduated from this degree.

My teaching career is currently at SAE institute where I teach a bachelor of game development to pre-grads, going back to teach the younger generation was quite the challenge at first but it proved to be a much more fulfilling experience and I only hope my students will be the the cornerstone for the game dev industry in Dubai

Games

I started my career in game dev while I was working as a web developer, I started with one of my co-workers working on a browser-based multiplayer card game, I then started learning the Unity engine and made the full shift to the game dev industry.

Since then I worked on multiple mobile games for different clients then shifted my focus to VR where I developed multiple VR training experiences as well as a multiplayer VR game that I am not entitled to mention here.

Developers Assets

when we working on our first VR game we searched for good hand models and couldn't find any that fits the client needs, we freelanced an artist to create one for us, and started making an interaction system that we believe was superior to what was currently available at the time.

after finishing this project we realized the opportunity at hand and decided to invest in multiple hand models, to integrate into our system and started selling them on the unity asset store.
