Programmer

Ubisoft Pune, IN

• Prince of Persia

April 2019 - June 2020

• Worked as an AI Programmer, the core tasks were to implement, debug and maintain AI systems.
• These systems were part of Anvil Game Engine, which is known for its massive open world games. Also contributed to Combat AI modules which involved positioning and AI fighting systems.
• Some notable systems that I built
1. A Fight States History System This system recorded all the combat moves a character/player has performed. This would then in turn was used for achievements system where it would trigger few achievements once certain move sequence was performed by player.
2. Restriction Zones for NPC AI This feature was used so that the NPCs would patrol their associated restricted zones and if an enemy enters it, they would start fighting them. Also, once an enemy has left such zones, they would wait for the enemies to return for a specified timer, and would return to patrolling once the timer expired. This system also involved interaction with non-combat AI systems,
3. Fight Achievements Tracking The main purpose of the system was to track all the combat specific events which would then used as a a means of statistics. This would give insight into what kinds of moves the player likes perform, at what location, and so on.
4. AI fight targeting algorithm Built a Round robin algorithm to equally distribute enemies among different targets. e.g. if there are 2 targets and 10 enemies then each target would be assigned 5 enemies. This also takes into the account newly added or removed enemies and rebalances if needed.
Apart from these tasks, I also worked on debugging issues in existing Combat AI / AI systems wherever required.

• Starlink PC: Battle for Atlas

May 2018 - May 2019

• The main tasks for the project were to port it on PC platform. The game runs on Snowdrop engine. The collaboration was with Ubisoft Toronto as a lead studio.
• I implemented following features
1. Developed a system to have keyboard and mouse inputs working for Windows platforms.
2. Ported UI screens so that they could work with Keyboard/Mouse Inputs. This required deliberate efforts so that these newly added input methods wouldn't interfere with Controller based inputs.
3. Scaling UI screens/menus to fit different screen resolutions.
4. Dynamic UI button prompt system where the button prompts would update based on the last used input device.
• My other duties included
1. Leading newly hired junior programmers and training them.
2. Debugging and Optimizing the gameplay systems.
3. Reviewing and Collaborating with lead programmers at Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Toronto.

Junior Programmer

• Was awarded as a Best Performer for the August 2018 quarter, for taking Initiative in providing various design changes which were accepted by designers at Ubisoft Montreal during Far Cry 5 Development
• I developed following features on the project.
1. Arcade Player Progression UI This screen appeared when a player finished a multiplayer match in Arcade. It showed the experience points gained by the player during the session, the current level and the next achieved level of the player, rewards earned on levelling up and current player badge.
2. Level/Map Scripting Tool Port to Consoles The scripting tool lets map creators provide features to create custom missions in arcade along with map editing. This feature was initially developed for PC Map Editor Tool, then eventually planned for consoles as well. Following were the tasks for it.
