ABOUT DHRUV SHAH
I’m an XR Developer and Technologist specializing in Unity, C#, and AI-driven immersive systems. I create interactive VR/AR/MR applications that connect virtual environments with real-world functionality.Currently working at Athernova transforming the world and creating an impact. My focus is designing intuitive interfaces, optimizing performance, and ensuring seamless data integration across platforms.In my previous role at a Stealth XR startup, I developed AI-voice integrated VR tools for real-time inventory tracking and robotic control panels that enable precise remote machine operations inside immersive spaces. Previously, as a Teaching Assistant at Swansea University, I helped engineering cohorts apply theory to practical problem-solving in cloud computing, Azure, and 3D visualization—strengthening my foundation in both technology and communication.I’m passionate about pushing the limits of immersive design and exploring how AI and XR can enhance interaction, learning, and automation. My goal is to contribute to projects that combine creativity, innovation, and real-world impact.
