Hei,

Game Developer | Unity & Applied AI

I’m Uneeb Kari, a Game Developer with a Master’s degree in Game Design and Development from Aalto University. My academic background includes a Master’s thesis on AI-driven game idea generation, exploring how AI can support creative processes in game development.

I currently work as a Unity Developer at Golf GameBook, focusing on client-side development and monetization systems. My work includes integrating and maintaining third-party SDKs such as RevenueCat, Mixpanel, and Firebase Analytics, contributing to an in-house advertising system, and developing general app and gameplay features in a production Unity environment.

My interests lie at the intersection of games, applied AI, and human-centered technology, with a focus on turning research ideas into reliable, real-world products.
