👋 About Me

Hi! I’m Karthik Ragi, a passionate Game Developer with a strong foundation in real-time simulation, gameplay systems, and multiplayer experiences. I specialize in building immersive 3D games using Unity (C#) and have also explored Unreal Engine for advanced simulation projects.

I bring over 2 years of industry experience, having worked full-time at Xarpie Labs and Next Defense, where I contributed to serious games and defense simulations. My work has involved Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, real-time telemetry integration, and custom tooling for in-game analytics and multi-screen rendering using Spout.

Currently, I’m pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at UIC, where I continue building personal and academic projects in Unity and exploring AI-enhanced gameplay, multiplayer design, and UX-focused game mechanics.
