Hello There!

My name is Pradyumna, and I am a Designer, Technical Specialist and Educator in the field of XR and real-time interactive technologies.

​

For the better part of a decade, I have been building my career as a T-shaped practitioner in XR technologies. While my deepest expertise lies in XR experience design, the design, production and optimisation of virtual environments, 3D assets for various platforms, I also work across UI/UX Design, application prototyping, creative technology, and interactive narrative development.

​

During my time in the B2B sector, I served as XR Designer, Production Artist and eventually Production Art Manager on the development of interactive XR simulations for marketing and training purposes, supporting companies such as Shell, IFB, Godrej, Accenture, and Infosys in leveraging interactive technology to drive brand engagement and training.

​

I currently work as a Specialist Technician for Immersive Technology at the University of Edinburgh, where I teach and support students and staff interested in adopting interactive technology in their practice.

 

I also actively participate as a Creative Technologist and Technical Consultant for the CoSTAR (Convergent Screen Technologies and Performance in Realtime) project, where I support academic staff and researchers in developing their practice using Virtual Production technologies for filmmaking.
