Game Producer & Systems Designer

Bridging Vision & Execution in Games & Immersive Media

Hi, I'm Farnoud. I bridge the gap between creative vision and technical execution. With a decade of experience producing games and immersive media, including shipped and deployed titles in Unreal Engine 5, I specialize in Agile production and high-stakes stakeholder management. I act as the 'weaver' between artists and programmers, making sure technical feasibility meets creative ambition."

Azure LiDAR | Custom AR HUD Platform

Role: Producer | Project Coordinator | Remote Collaboration with NYU Tisch

A custom-built, HUD-style AR platform developed to overlay dynamic information onto a physical mesh screen.

I managed the end-to-end production and cross-continental R&D between Iran and New York, ensuring technical alignment and hardware synchronization.

‍Technical Interest: Led the R&D to identify the optimal materials and mediums for mesh-based AR projection. This project required solving complex logistical and technical hurdles involved in remote hardware testing and LiDAR-based spatial mapping.

Azure LiDAR | Interactive Installation | Movement-based Navigation

Role: Producer | Project Coordinator | Remote Collaboration with NYU Tisch

A technical exploration into head-tracking as a primary interaction method for digital artwork and map navigation.

I coordinated the testing and implementation of Azure LiDAR sensors to create a touchless alternative to traditional touchscreens or hand-tracking interfaces like Leap Motion.

‍Technical Interest: Focused on developing a low-latency interaction model using movement-based tracking for non-traditional UX environments. This project provided deep insights into the precision and limitations of LiDAR depth-sensing for user-driven installations.

About Me

Game Producer based in Vancouver

My path to the Vancouver game industry has been defined by initiative.

Before moving here, I spent years spearheading my own technical projects in a region with no active game community proving that if a door isn't open, I'll build it myself.

Whether leading 14-person teams at VFS or managing international stakeholders for global brands, my focus is always the same: clearing the path.

I specialize in Agile workflows, proactive communication, and technical problem-solving.

I am currently looking for my next challenge within a production or design team where I can apply my "no-blocker" philosophy to high-fidelity titles.
